The 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: A nice red
color, smells more of cherry and red currants.
At first it seems like it will be sweet when it touches the tip of your
tongue, but then it feels very dry when it stays in your mouth. It actually has an overwhelming feeling of
cork bits in my mouth, like the cork is in there just sucking all the moisture
out of my mouth and someone is rubbing a dull sandpaper in there. It’s not too fruity, some blackberry feel to
it, and not too much spice but there is a hint of it.
