Emilio Moro Malleolus Tempranillo Spain Ribera del Duero 2001

 The 2001 Malleolus is a deep ruby/purple-hued offering boasting a big, sweet nose of vanilla intermixed with blackberries, cherries, crushed rocks, and smoky oak. This seriously concentrated 2001 possesses tremendous purity and texture as well as a long, heady, moderately tannic finish. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and enjoy it over the following 15 years.
