Plum, cocoa, mineral, sanguine and cola flavors mingle in this rich red, whose plush texture conceals a powerful structure, deep and balanced, with a finish that lingers and expands into spice, floral and earth notes. Distinctive and intriguing, this is still reserved and has much more to give. Drink now through 2024. 600 cases made. –TM

The 2009 Malleolus de Valderramiro comes from 85-year-old vines and is matured for 18 months in new French and American oak. It received a eulogy from my predecessor in barrel, and although my own appreciation is more tempered, I still regard it as a stupendous wine. The oak is seamlessly integrated on the stylish nose that offers hints of mocha and dark chocolate to complement the brassy bold black fruit – creme de cassis and blueberry jam. The palate is full-bodied and just a little cloying on the entry. It is decadent, structured and voluminous, a bold intense wine with mouth-lacquering luscious, almost viscous fruit on the finish with fresh dates and cassis. It is uncompromisingly primal and unyielding at the moment and deserves several years in bottle. Drink 2018-2030.  The important year for Bodegas Emilio Moro is 1932 – when the Finca Resalso vines were planted and Emilio Moro was born. For many years the fruit was sold off in bulk until 1988, when Jose Moro Espinosa invested his savings and established his own bodega, joining the D.O. the following year. I found the wines to be rich, decadent and packed to the rafters with ebullient ripe fruit. Personally, I would prefer to see less dependency on new oak, as I feel that it is masking the individuality of the terroir. If you have a pretty face – there is no need to hide it away.

Bodegas Emilio Moro
S’appuyant sur le travail assidu et le dévouement consentis par trois générations, la bodega Emilio Moro a réussi à rejoindre le cercle des domaines incontournables à Ribera del Duero. José Moro poursuit l’objectif familial qui consiste à élaborer des vins de haute volée moyennant un engagement environnemental sans faille. Fondé en 1989, le domaine de 70 hectares comporte quatre parcelles distinctes à Pesquera del Duero, chacune entièrement plantée en tempranillo, le cépage local. Les vins symbolisent l’union entre valeurs familiales traditionnelles et recours aux technologies de pointe, avec à la clé, des cuvées faisant partie de la fine fleur de l’appellation. Issue de ses plus vieilles vignes, la cuvée Malleolus se distingue par un côté « sur le fruit » tout en affichant les caractéristiques typiques inhérentes à 18 mois d’élevage en chêne français neuf.
