From time to time, I’ll be putting wines up here that exceed the $20 price point, but are still excellent values. Here’s an outstanding example of such a wine. This is the 2005 Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero. I picked this up at my local Total Wine for $23.99. This is a really high quality wine, and can easily compete with wines costing 2 or 3 times as much.

A wonderfully structured, medium acidity wine, with plenty of complexity. I drank this over 2 days, and it was just as good or better on the second night. The nose is a little tight initially, but opens up nicely.

Fantastic value for you Ribera del Duero lovers.

My rating: 91 points.
