Figuero, Ribera del Duero (Castilla y Leon, Spain) 2008

Sep 22, 2010

By Paul Lukacs

 The entry-level Ribera del Duero from Figuero, this youthful red comes from ten to twenty year-old Tempranillo vines, and has been aged in barrel (predominantly American oak) for just four months.  The result is a pleasant, juicy red, full of red fruit, with impressive length on the palate.
