| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 1/27/2023 & rated 92 points: Decanted for a good 1 hr. Focused red berries mixed with dark coffee beans, some spice as well(rosemary). This is medium weighted and potent, without being too show-y. Nowhere near any maturation yet, but nice for drinking.91-92 (332 views) | | | Tasted by Anton_Wallin on 12/11/2020 & rated 92 points: Smooth and a bit dusty tannins, deep complexity, dried fruit, leather and oak. Really enjoyable now but may be past its peak (859 views) | | | Tasted by Anton_Wallin on 7/1/2019 & rated 92 points: Full bodied, still a bit grippy tannins. Drink within three years (1134 views) | | | Tasted by rija on 3/23/2019 & rated 92 points: Även 2013 levererar, härligt koncentrerad mörk frukt. Kryddigt och en fin syra rundar av det hela. (1159 views) | | | Tasted by Dinamarca on 5/26/2018 & rated 91 points: Fremragende og en af mine ynglings-Ribera del Duero ud fra pris og kvalitet. År 2013 er absolut godkendt, men ikke blandt deres bedste årgange. Lækker, men fortsat lidt lukket næse. Solbær, solmodne brombær, blå blommer og mørke kirsebær. Dernæst lidt flintesten, sød tahitivanilie, siruplakrids og peber. I munden er vinen kraftig og tanninrig, men absolut drinkable bl.a. fordi syren holder vinen fint sammen. Lækker mørke bær, lidt tørret frugt - uden at vi når Amarone tilstande - samt chokolade, ristede kaffebønner og en god del peber. Dejligt frugtig og lang eftersmag. (1530 views) | | | Tasted by ekgPDX on 9/8/2017 & rated 91 points: Smooth, light coriander, plum notes, light finish (1656 views) | | | Tasted by Jonezky on 6/26/2017 & rated 90 points: Dark berryes, toasted spices, cloves, dried plum, relatively strong oak, caramel, liquorice and vanilla. Clear floral notes as the wine opens up
Full bodied, round and velvety. Sweet cherry, sweet strawberry, dried fruits, herbal notes, wet rock.
The oak is quite abundant but not overpowering alongside the fruit
The wine is abundant and harsh with suitable acid and tannins.
The aftertaste is long. Chocolate, vanilla, dark ripe fruits (1231 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.

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).
