Spanish Wines

Don't know why it took me so long to come back to the '99 Emilio Moro, but we finally cracked it on Sunday. No evident bricking, but there was certainly a whiff similar to an aged Rioja on the nose, and similar flavors followed. All secondary stuff -- leather, tobacco, muted fruit. It's not as good as the best aged Rioja, but very nice for a $25 bottle from Ribera del Duero. I only bought 2, so that's all for that one. I may pop the Valderiz next.
