Critic 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, with a 14.5% alcohol content, has a strong sweet aroma of berries and fruit. It also had an oaky smell, but it wasn't too overwhelming. This wine tasted lightly spiced, with sweet cherries and raspberries. It was not acidic, but was dry with a clean and smooth finish. I really enjoyed this easy to drink red wine, and would definitely drink it again.
I tasted this wine without food.
