Figaro Tinto

Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain 
Year: 2016

Winery review:  "The 100% Garnacha 2016 Figaro Tinto Calatayud is a smoking value and is another red brought in by Kysela that knocks it out of the park on the value scale. Bright berry fruits, dried herbs, earth, and a touch of spice all flow to a medium-bodied, rounded, fleshy red that has loads of upfront charm and accessibility. It’s not going to make old bones, but as a house red to enjoy over the coming couple of years, it’s hard to beat."


My review: A very fruity aroma, hints of spice also. For a red wine it had a lighter body than I expected. Very deep dark berry tones with spice. Would go well with some food but probably not alone.
The Pairing: I did not pair this wine with any food


7.1/10
