2012 Tinto Figuero 4 Tempranillo

A wonderful array of smells featuring cherry, cassis, woodsmoke, and spice.  Sharp tannins lead way to a nice cacaphony of fruit including cherry, plum and cassis with flavours of cloves and spices.  Quite nice, but I believe it will only improve with further ageing. Drink in 5 years, with Korean short ribs or flank steak.
