The Moro family has been making wine in Ribera del Duero for more than 120 years. Bodegas Emilio Moro has 260 acres of vineyards and the vines used for this delicious wine are 15-25 years old. We found purple ruby fruits, deep tannins that are pretty smooth for such a young wine, and an overall charming, supple personality. A great hint of roasted coffee shows up on the finish. Aged in 50% French Allier oak and 50% American oak for 12 months.
Wine Advocate
The 2006 Emilio Moro was aged in French and American oak for 12 months. It has a superb bouquet of smoke, roasted herbs, scorched earth, and blackberry. Layered on the palate, it has tons of fruit, plenty of spice box notes, a firm structure, and 2-3 years of aging potential. This lengthy effort should provide pleasure through 2026.
Score: 92.

Wine Spectator
Ripe cherry, fig pudding, vanilla and spice flavors mingle in this firm, lively red. There's plenty of structure, but the red fruit flavors are bright and expressive. Drink now through 2016.
Score: 91.
