1999 Bodegas Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero Malleolus - Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero (6/10/2006)
DAWGS Impromptu Dinner June 10, 2006 (De Tapas, Addison, TX): WIML90,WA90,WS89

Tasted June 10, 2006 at an offline. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Visited several times over the evening. Garnet color in the glass, fairly clear throughout. Big Kirsch nose with some secondary aromas of leather, anise and a mix of dark fruits. Flavors of black berries, black cherries, black currants and just a touch of cocoa eventually showed. Rounded tannins with good clean acidity. Can be drank now with an hour in the decanter but should age nicely another 5-7 years. Considering you can still purchase this wine from Wine Library for $31.99 a bottle I’d say the value here is recommended. (90 pts.)
