Description of the vintages:
The 2016, I have had the pleasure of tasting this wine several times starting in barrel when visiting the winery in 2017. The wine remains consistent in always evolving and getting better with age. The acidity, tannins, fruit, oak are in perfect harmony always working with each other and not fighting. The fruit on the nose is rich and harmonious and continues on to the palate. On the palate the fruit notes are joined by cedar, tobacco, baking spices, balanced with the fruit and acidity. The finish lingers for several minutes and leaving your palate wanting more. A must stock for any serious collector of wine and any one who celebrates Family.
The 2017 Ficaria Vins Familia Negra is their flagship wine and boasts a blend of Garnacha Tinta, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The grapes are sourced from vines that are 30 to 80 years old, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. Notes of red and black fruits appear on the nose in an enticing manner. On the palate the fruit notes are accompanied by subtle vanilla notes, leather, tobacco, stewed strawberry notes, baking spices and minerality. A must-try for wine connoisseurs looking for a unique and refined taste experience.
