Garcia Figuero 2006 Tinto Figuero Noble Red (Ribera del Duero)

Price $131

A touch doughy on the nose, with prune and blackberry aromas that are neither pushy nor aggressive. The palate is ripe, rich and just forward enough, with blackberry, wild berry, coffee and fudge flavors. Settles nicely on the finish, and overall this wine shows almost all of what’s good about modern Ribera del Duero wines. 250 cases made; drink now through 2015. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

Garcia Figuero 2004 Figuero Noble Red (Ribera del Duero)

Online Exclusive

Price $131

Heavenly blackberry and fudge brownie aromas give this a bouquet that generates a wink and a smile. The mouth is succulent and graced by flavors of black plum, tea, nutmeg and leather. It’s big and robust, but balanced as can be. And even though it spent 21 months in oak, the wood is integrated and shows itself as chocolate and mocha on the smooth, long-fading… — M.S. (6/1/2009)

Garcia Figuero 2004 Tinto Figuero 12 Crianza Red (Ribera del Duero)

Price $29

Sometimes less is more, and with Figuero’s wines the shorter the time spent in oak the more amplified the fruit. This crianza, like its sibling from 2005, is textured and totally sound. The nose is plump and intensely fruity, while the palate has a fine but racy feel and flavors of blackberry, plum, chocolate and cola. Long and layered on the finish, and pure… — M.S. (4/1/2009)

Garcia Figuero 2006 Tinto Figuero 15 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Online Exclusive

Price $65

Score Chasers: Spain 2011

A big, dark wine with bacon, blackberry, stewed black cherry and dark spice aromas. The palate is pure, lush and fun, while the flavors are full and dark, emphasizing licorice, blackberry, chocolate, fig and coffee. Delicious and easygoing in that modern RDD style. Drink now through 2014. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Garcia Figuero 2006 Tinus Red (Ribera del Duero)

Price $599

A new specialty wine from the Figuero family shows a meaty, roasted bouquet and some leather, while below the aromas there’s a palate that’s rich, profound, slightly baked in character and very sweet and deep. A Yum Yum type of rich RDD with a finish defined by baked blackberry and molasses. Drink now–2013. — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Garcia Figuero 2005 Figuero Noble Red (Ribera del Duero)

Cellar Selection

Price $131

Figuero’s top wine is more than fine. The nose begins with meaty, leathery notes and backs them up with spice and ripe fruit. The palate is not flabby or fat; instead it’s racy and features good acidity that pushes raspberry, tea, tobacco and nutmeg flavors. A more agile wine than many from this famed region. Should age well for five to ten years. — M.S. (4/1/2009)

Garcia Figuero 2005 Vendimia Seleccionada Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Price $59

Dense and heavy, and maybe a touch dull on the nose in terms of fruit aromas. But once it hits the palate the wine shines with intense black fruit, sugar beet and chocolate flavors. The finish is toasty and warm, with saturation and texture. Almost over the edge as far as ripeness, but not quite. Drink now through 2012. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

Garcia Figuero 2005 Tinto Figuero 12 Crianza Red (Ribera del Duero)

Price $29

Youthful on the nose, with aromatic hints of fine aged cheese and leather blended with earthy berry fruit. The palate is firm and tannic, but not hard. And the flavors of sweet berries, black plum and vanilla are hugely appealing. Coffee, berry essence and a certain chewiness define the finish. An excellent wine with regional expression that will be at its best in… — M.S. (4/1/2009)
