Emilio Moro and Ribera Del Duero...WOW!

I finally have a brief moment to talk about this phenomonal wine I tasted the other day from Spain. When I saw my supplier walk through the door with a wine labelled Emilio Moro, I bolted to the wine counter and grabbed a glass. Now when it comes to Spain there are three major regions, Rioja, Priorat, and Ribera del Duero. I absolutely love wines from Ribera del Duero, and Emilio Moro is a Legend in that area for making big, robust structured wines that age for decades. This 2007 offering blew me away! It offered aromas of cedar, leather and black cherry. Full bodied and rich on the palate, layers of flavor unravelled to a powerful finish. If you like big Napa Cab's and haven't tried a Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, I highly reccomend coming down to the store and grabbing a bottle! Well, now that I was finally able to tell about this great Ribera I tasted, it' back to the floor to taste some declassified C.D.P.(Chateaunuef du Pape)!
