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: The smell and taste of this wine was nothing special that I could decipher from other red wines I've had. The smell was very oaky, musty, and red fruity especially of black cherry. The taste followed that profile. It tasted very tannic and bitter and definitely notes of black cherry. Since Black Cherry is one of my least favorite flavors ever (along with butterscotch) I was not into this wine However, I could see alot of people who are into that really like this wine especially due to its hardy nature.
