Bodegas Emilio Moro 'Malleolus de Valderramiro', Ribera del Duero, Spain 2020

Wine Spectator 93 A supple red, with floral and cigar box aromatics accenting the creamed cherry, raspberry coulis, red licorice and herbed black olive notes. The velvety texture wraps around a dense core of fine-grained tannins, which emerge to create a firm, chalky impression on the finish. Decant this to enjoy today, or cellar to allow further integration and grace. Best after 2027. 625 cases made, 200 cases imported. James Suckling 92 Excellent depth of ripe, minty blackberries, mocha, chocolate, black pepper, tar and pine needles. Full-bodied and vertically structured, with a tight coat of dusty, reactive tannins. Long and juicy finish with a good extension of ripe black fruit and sweet spices. Drink or hold.
