With roots deeply embedded in the esteemed Ribera del Duero, "Malleolus" from Bodegas Emilio Moro is a manifestation of the winery's devotion to tradition blended with a contemporary approach to winemaking.
Visually, "Malleolus" might drape the glass with a profound ruby hue, reflective of the concentration and vigor of Tinta Fina grapes, especially those from old vine parcels which are often utilized in this wine.
Aromatically, anticipate a rich tapestry of scents. Ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, cherries, and plums might dominate, but there's also potential for traces of licorice, balsamic, and perhaps a whisper of floral notes. Given its time in oak barrels, it wouldn't be unusual to detect undertones of toasted oak, vanilla, or even a touch of mocha.
The palate could echo this aromatic richness, with the fruit flavors leading and then blending seamlessly with elements like spice, leather, or tobacco. The wine's structure might present itself with firm yet elegant tannins, coupled with a balanced acidity, ensuring both immediate pleasure and aging potential.
