Tinto Figuero, Ribera del Duero DO (Spain) Tempranillo 2016

 This vintage of Vinas Viejas ("old vines") exhibits impressive power and depth, showing layers of ripe black fruits and chewy tannins, with an overlay of oak vanillin.  It’s a serious candidate for additional cellar time to tame the raw power now on display, though drinking now is an option, especially if decanted and hour or two prior to serving.
