Tasting Notes Figuero 12
- View: Figuero 12 is an elegant red wine with an intense cherry red cherry colour with cardinal rim. Clean, bright and quite deep
- Nose: Great aromatic intensity with lots of freshness. The red fruit stands out in a wide range of spices (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and pink pepper). The wood seduces with notes of blond tobacco and toffee.
- Mouth: Wide mouth entry with very good tannic structure, prolonged by a great acidity. Surprising so much freshness in a wine of such power. Mouth with marked personality and perfect harmony. All the aromatic range perceived in the nose is found again in the mouth.
