BODEGAS EMILIO MORO 'Malleolus' - DO Ribera del Duero 2022 Bottle ORG/VGN (Old Vine Tempranillo)

Description

Very deep, intense cherry red in colour, a result of a low yield. It has a dense, ripe aroma, an intense wine with plenty of personality. The balance between ripeness and freshness is excellent, and its months of ageing in 500-litre barrels has given it plenty of complexity. It is powerful and structured in the mouth, with good balance and a long, persistent finish. Perfect with red meat with richly flavoured sauces.

Tim Atkin MW (Ribera del Duero 2022 Special Report) 91 Points: "Malleolus uses fruit from Las Miras, the high-altitude páramo above the town of Pesquera de Duero. Stylishly wooded in 500-litre French oak, it's floral, forward and refreshing, with a chalky lift and focus, succulent redcurrant strawberry fruit and appealing energy and focus. Drink 2023-2029."
