The phenomenal 2016 Venus de La Figuera has the sharpness of the limestone soils and the acidity of the year. They got the full crop from the vineyard and produced 3,000 bottles, which is lucky, as there is more quality and quantity. This is tight and austere, more serious than the previous two years (and they tell me it really takes off in 2017, so I look forward to tasting it!). I found crunchy Garnacha with citrus freshness. Amazing Garnacha from La Figuera.
