A great winery with one of the best vineyard viewpoints in the Ribeira del Duero. Bodegas Emilio Moro is family winery which doesn’t believe in the established winemaking rules of reserve or grand reserve for instance but instead, develops their wines to their own beliefs, knowhow, expertise and innovative creativity. It only makes wines when they decide uniformly that harvest year was according to their high standards.

Clear pale ruby wine with clean red fruit, mint and dill aromas. On the palate as red fruits as well. Still developing, this potential nice wine is dry, high in acidity, low / well-hidden tannins and high alcohol as well as full bodied with a long finish. Very interesting balance, good length, intensity and complexity (1-1-1-1/1). For immediate consumption or with ageing potential of 3 to another 5 years.
Wine 2 : Emilio Moro
This wine has a clear medium deep ruby colour with a mix of black and red fruits aromas and flavours. Still on the early development edge, the wine is dry, has a high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol level and is full bodied with a long finish. Overall good balance, length, intensity and complexity (1-1-1-1/1). Drink now or potential ageing of another 3-5 years.
Wine 3 : Malleolus
This wine rested for 2 years on French oak barrels and thus, developed some interesting aspects. At the time of tasting, a nice medium deep ruby coloured wine with primary aromas and flavours of black fruit, tones of mint. Notable tertiary aromas and flavours of tobacco and some chocolate.

Wine 5 : Malleolus de Sancho Martin
Medium deep ruby coloured wine which is more or less singular with the other Ribeira del Duero wines with solely clearly pronounced aromas and flavours of black fruits.

The wine is dry with high acidity, tannins and alcohol as well as full-bodied and has a long finish. Balance, length, intensity and complexity are on point.
