2011 TINTO FIGUERO '12' "CRIANZA" RIBERA DEL DUERO Importer's Tasting Notes: "Tinto Figuero's Twelve Months In Barrel has an intense robe with cherry red color and blue highlights that signify good ripeness. Clean, bright and extremely well presented, the initial aromas are of ripened black berries, liquorice and well-matured red berries. It is enhanced by sweet touches of oak, chocolate, spices and coffee notes. The taste is balanced and full-flavored, with sweet, round tannins married to light acidity, giving a fresh, harmonic tone to the palate. It has a long finish, which is also silky and elegant."
