Figaro 2009 Tinto Red (Calatayud)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Figaro / Tinto

Starts out with leather and cheesy aromas, and beyond that there’s not a lot of fruit on the bouquet. It’s a chunky, heavy wine with thick, jammy plum flavors that have strong herbal undertones. Warm, grabby and baked on the finish, which is plodding.
