Emilio Moro Ribera Del Duero Malleolus De Sanchomartin 2020

Appearance: Dark, inky Picota cherry color with violet reflections, hinting at its intensity and concentration.

Nose: The bouquet is bold and complex, with aromas of ripe black fruits such as plums and blackberries, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, cloves, and licorice. Subtle hints of eucalyptus, dried thyme, and sage lend a refreshing herbaceousness, while notes of fig cake, mocha, and toasted oak add warmth and depth. Floral undertones of blue flowers like violets provide an elegant lift.

Palate: Full-bodied and robust, this wine mirrors the richness of its nose with layers of ripe red currant, raspberry, and pomegranate seed flavors. The firm tannins are dense yet polished, offering a velvety texture with a slightly chalky finish. Balsamic notes, tobacco, loamy earth, and a touch of fallen leaves contribute to its savory complexity. The balanced acidity and ripe fruit core keep the wine vibrant and fresh, while the long finish reveals lingering flavors of mocha and toasty oak.
