The 2013 Tinto Figuero 4 Tempranillo aged for four months in oak barrels and is a fruit-driven, sweet and fresh style of Ribera, with strawberry and licorice flavors and a medium-bodied palate. But it’s a little too extracted, which takes away freshness. Drink now.
I’m always suspicious when the most relevant data of a wine is the number of months it has spent in barrel to the point of naming the wine in “the more the better” fashion. That’s what seems to be of interest in some of the wines here. On top of that, the rest of the name is composed with the varietal, in this case, of course Tempranillo. Having said that, I was impressed with some of the components of this collection of wines, even if some were too oaky and some prices seem crazy.
