Concentrated, penetrating and forward on the nose, with great expression of fruit, boundless maturity and fine spicy notes. Energetic, dense, with great depth and tension. Develops a compact structure with lively and delicious tannins.
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.”
92pts The Wine Advocate – 2015 vintage
“Cropped from a dry and warm year, the 2015 Mauro has riper fruit and more of a Mediterranean character. It’ has some grainy tannins. It’s powerful and might require some more time in bottle and/or powerful food. Some 300,000 bottles produced.”
91pts James Suckling – 2015 vintage
“Enormous mulberry nose and massive dry tannins, but they aren’t aggressive or edgy, and this wine should age nicely. Excellent example from the region. Best from 2018.”
