Bodegas Emilio Moro Tempranillo 2020: A Modern Ribera del Duero Classic

92 points. "A modern, spicy, and fruity Tempranillo with nutmeg, sweet spices, and a vibrant structure." – James Suckling

Tasting Notes:

Color: Deep garnet red.
Nose: Intense and elegant with aromas of ripe black fruits, complemented by notes of vanilla, black pepper, and sweet spices like nutmeg.
Palate: Full-bodied with compact tannins. The fruit-forward nature is balanced by a smooth, silky texture and a hint of oak. Flavors of blackberries and plums dominate, with a spicy undertone and a touch of smokiness from 12 months of aging in French and American oak.
Finish: Long and persistent, with a refined, juicy aftertaste that showcases the wine’s balanced structure and drinkability.
