97 Points-Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate “Expressive aromatically, it offers a beautiful perfume of spice box, vanilla, lead pencil, red and black currants and blackberry liqueur. Sweet, supple, and layered on the palate, it has terrific concentration and balance. Give this superb effort 6-8 years of cellaring and drink it through 2032.”

91 Points-Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar “Dark red. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant aromas complicated by vanilla and baking spices. Rich and creamy, with deep flavors of candied plum, cherry liqueur and vanilla. Very fresh and energetic for such a rich, chewy wine, with juicy acids giving lift and focus. Finishes sweet, oaky and long, with fine, suave tannins.”

95 Points-The Wine Spectator “Espresso and bitter chocolate oak flavors dominate this powerful red now, but there's a core of ripe, deep blackberry and currant fruit and an underlying mineral backbone that promises complexity will come with time. Very elegant for such power.”

Emilio Moro "Malleolus de Sancho Martin" Ribera Del Duero DO 2003
100% Tempranillo (aka: Tinto Fino) harvested from the winery’s Pago de Sancho Martin, located within the district of Pesquera de Duero. It comes from limestone-clay soil which provides coolness for the vine plants during periods of drought. This vineyard covers a surface area of 0.70 hectares (1.72 acres) and is located on a slope on the right bank of the Duero River, giving it a south-facing exposure, 780 meters (2,500 ft.) above sea level. The wines produced in this plot are tannic and have a distinctive acidity which makes them ideal for ageing in oak. This estate provides excellent conditions for the grapes to reach full maturity. The vineyard was planted in 1964, with cuttings grafted from the oldest plot of the winery, our Pago de Valderramiro. After 30 days of maceration, malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels with stirring of the lees. Aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels.
