| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 23 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Tige on 7/23/2022 & rated 90 points: Violet foncé.
Pas mal de fruits au nez, un peu de vanille, d'épices et de une touche d'alcool. Certains y ont prédit un sauvignon français ou espagnol.
En bouche c'est un vin d'une grande qualité dans une très belle période. Corps moy+, tanins moy bien intégrés et très fins, acidité moy, pas mal de fruits, plutôt long en bouche et d'une texture soyeuse.
Carafé 2-3 h.
Peut attendre longtemps encore, mais déjà un délice. (274 views) | | | Tasted by Tige on 6/22/2018 & rated 90 points: Un tempranillo je dirais assez équilibré, avec une bonne dose d'acidité, une bonne longueur en bouche et des tanins assez présents mais bien intégrés. Encore pas mal de fruits. À mon avis ça peut vieillir encore mais je ne suis pas certain si ça deviendra beaucoup meilleur.

On the palate, licorice, acid, eucalyptus
medium + finish (2706 views) | | | Tasted by FamilyLarsson on 11/20/2014 & rated 86 points: I doften menthol, rostade kaffetoner, lakrits, mörk choklad, alkohol och lite kemiska toner. I smaken menthol, alkoholhetta, lakrits och väldigt lite frukt. Känns obalanserat och tunt. Borde vara mycket bättre än så här.
Kanske ingen frisk flaska? (2542 views) | | | Tasted by Ramberg on 5/16/2013 & rated 84 points: Nose is medicinal, with some cheese (?),some coffee and chocolate
Thin and somewhat “weird” palate, hot/alcoholic, short and thin.
Gives a bit of a simple impression.
Note very good compared to the other Spaniards in tonight’s blind tasting, and 7 out of 7 had this as the least good wine tonight. (3863 views) | | | Tasted by markbp on 5/11/2013 & rated 91 points: Tasted at winery from a mag. Pop and pour. Holy oak! This mag should've been decanted yesterday. Striking nose which again seems dominated by oak. Dark fruit, vanilla. Fairly brutal astringency on the finish. Hard to judge pop and pour from a mag but a good wine nonetheless. (3310 views) | | | Tasted by Christoffer78 on 1/14/2012 & rated 92 points: Absolutely lovely tonight the 2007 Malleolus is a very good example of how a wine can be modern but still not loose trace of its origin. The most striking feature of this effort is the perfect balance between fruit, oak, tannins and acidity. The nose is full of cool red fruit, soft herbal tones and a striking sense of orange peel. The palate is elegantly full-bodied with a finish lasting for up to a minute. This is an extraordinarily food friendly wine with years to go in the cellar. (Day 2: The wine is superb, extremely well-balanced and integrated but a little shorter on the finish compared to yesterday.) (score is 92-93) (3957 views) | | | Tasted by peblin on 3/22/2011 & rated 91 points: This is a wine that annoys me. It's way too easy to like, yet nothing with this wine is surprising or complex. Lots and lots of ripe fruit, lots of tannins, good balanced acidity and a pleasurable vanilla sweetness. The wine screams "I was made to be liked by EVERYONE" - and Moro has managed to actually achieve that. Almost impossible not to fall for this wine despite it's lack of elegance, complexity and sophistication. Why? Because all the hedonistic components are mixed in perfect balance. (2672 views) | | | Tasted by Shorepower on 3/21/2011: Lite jordig, bärig doft, ganska tanninrik och fungerar bra till griskinden som jag tar som förrätt. Vinet är inte allt för komplex men det är väl själva tanken här, gifter sig med maten och behöver inte lagras för att vara drickbart (2713 views) | | | Tasted by hubas on 3/14/2011 & rated 87 points: Quite an impressive aroma with both raspberries and other red berries some earth notes and a hint of strawberries. Quite a bit of tannins and a long nice aftertaste. (1868 views) |

For over three generations the legendary Bodegas Emilio Moro has dedicated itself to producing exceptional Tempranillo wines from the “golden mile” of the Ribera del Duero. From the birth of its founder Don Emilio Moro in 1932 the winery has prided itself on producing wines which evoke the land from which they were born all in respect of tradition, innovation and a commitment to social responsibility.
Born into a winemaking family Don Emilio Moro learned everything he knew from his father — a passion for the vines, the earth and the care needed to bring them and their grapes to life. During the mass uprooting over the last century he insisted the family’s old vines be conserved in order to convey the strong terroir they represented. This has lead to wines of great distinction, especially from the vineyards of Sanchomartin and Valderramiro whose vines are over 50-80 years old. Over the years and as his father did he has passed his love for the vines and know-how on to his two sons Jose and Javier Moro, who today run the winery with the same commitment and conviction that their father once did.
The Bodegas today has around 200 hectares of land, all planted and grafted with the purest clone of the indigenous Tempranillo variety, “Tinto Fino”, recouped from their oldest vineyard. With four separate vineyards (Resalso, Camino Viejo, Sanchomartin and Valderramiro) planted at between 700 and 1000 meters above sea-level, each showcases a distinct soil and climate which in turn produce wines with a distinctive personality and soul. Following their philosophy of commitment and innovation each wine is produced using a mix of traditional and modern techniques, incorporating the use of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels in the vinification, resulting in pure terroir-driven wines.
The Bodegas Emilio Moro invites you to visit and experience first hand the vineyards, barrel cellars and of course wines by booking a tour and tasting.Tempranillo Varietal character (Appellation America) | TAPAS: Tempranillo Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society
Tempranillo is the premium red wine grape variety from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero region in Spain. Tempranillo's aromas and flavors often combine elements of berryish fruit, herbaceousness, and an earthy-leathery minerality. Being low in acidity and sugar content, it is commonly blended with Carignan (Mazuela), Grenache (Garnacha), Graciano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The varietal is at its best in top Riojas, where oak aging is employed to generate increased complexity and harmony. From the best sites, these wines can be remarkably concentrated with great aging potential. New wines from this region are darker, and more robust, with more dynamic primary fruit flavors than traditionally styled examples. These wines seem to reflect the influence of Spain's other key region for Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero. Regardless of style, Riojas tend to be medium bodied wines, with more acid than tannins. These wines generally feature Tempranillo blended with Garancha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. For these wines, there are three quality levels, which will appear on the label. Everyday drinking wines fall under the category of "Crianza", "Reserva" denotes more complex and concentrated wines, and "Gran Reserva" refers to the most intense wines, made only in the best years.
The same labeling scheme applies to wines from Ribera del Duero, which, like Rioja, is dominated by Tempranillo and shares similar blending grapes. Again, Ribera del Duero wines are generally darker and more powerful than the most traditional Riojas. These wines also generally see less oak treatment than Riojas. From Rioja, we like wines from Allende, Marqués de Cáceres, Montecillo, and Cune. In Ribera del Duero, consider Dominio de Pingus, Emilio Moro, Convento San Francisco, and Pesquera.
Pair older-style Rioja with simple meats like chicken, leg of lamb, and pork loin. However, the newer style of Rioja and Ribera del Duero works especially well with bolder meat dishes or an aged Spanish cheese like Manchego or Idiazabal.

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
