Tinto Figuero, Ribera del Duero DO (Spain) Tempranillo 2013

 The Reserva from Figuero is a massive red wine that is meant for the long haul.  Closed and brooding at this point, this wine is packed with rich layers of blackberry, black currant and blueberry, a note of mocha, wood spice and a hint of licorice.  The tannins are richly textured and bode well for a long life.  Clearly this wine needs a decade or so minimum to begin to reach peak maturity, which it should hold for a few decades.
