Figgins Family Wine Estates Figgins Figlia 2022 750ml

Ripe plums, cocoa powder, walnuts and dried herbs on the nose of this dark-fruited red. Violets, too. It’s full-bodied, polished and structured, with firm and compact tannins, but it’s silky and velvety in texture. Very long, caressing finish. A blend of petit verdot and merlot. Best after 2027.

Mentholated freshness introduces the 2022 Figlia, as crushed blackberries and sage mix with cedar box and hints of dark chocolate. It is elegant and soothingly round with polished red and blue fruits that ride a wave of cool-toned acidity. A web of fine-grained tannins adds form as the 2022 Figlia tapers off long yet remarkably fresh, leaving a concentration of wild blueberry that lingers on and on.
