Vintage Cellar Review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an "oaked wine", a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.
My Review: This wine had a blackberry smell. It was obvious that an oak barrel was used in the wine making process because the wine had a oak/firewood taste. The wine was very dry. I feel like it would taste good with hen. Overall, the wine was not my favorite but it was not bad, definitely drinkable. I was not eating any food while at the tasting.
