Penetrating and fragrant on the nose: red berries, licorice, aromatic herbs. Compact, energetic and lively tannins, combines volume and delicacy. The notes of ageing in the barrel pass into the background by the strength of the bright fruit.
94pts The Wine Advocate – 2015 vintage
“The opulent and generous 2015 VS is the reserva style bottling from Mauro and is sourced from two Tinto Fino vineyards, one in Traspinedo planted 70 years ago and a younger one (15 years old) in Tudela de Duero. The grapes from two vineyards are fermented separately in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wines matured in French and American barriques for some 26 months. It’s powerful, concentrated, round and long within the more elegant style of this wine in the Mauro portfolio. 37,570 bottles were filled in March 2018.”
93pts Wine Spectator – 2015 vintage
“A plush red, with an iron backbone. Ripe plum and currant flavors mingle with toasty and espresso notes, backed by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity. Has good density and balance, in the modern style. Tempranillo with Syrah. Drink now through 2025. 25,000 cases made”
