Emilio Moro 2012 Ribera del Duero

Country: Spain /
Variety: Tinto Fino Northern Spain
Winery: Emilio Moro / Ribera del Duero

Rooty, earthy aromas of cola, baking spices, blackberry and pepper are potent and ripe. Like always, this is a generous, well-balanced example of Ribera del Duero with toasty oak flavors riding on top of baking spice, plum and cassis notes. Vanilla and mint flavors on the finish are oak-based, while modest heat and burn call for short-term aging. Drink through 2019.
