Wine Critic Reviews
Brilliant violet. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, cola, exotic spices and vanilla, and a sexy floral note gains strength as the wine stretches out. Deeply concentrated but impressively energetic as well, offering sweet, penetrating boysenberry, black raspberry, violet pastille and chewing tobacco flavors that are given spine by a core of juicy acidity. Delivers an impressive punch of dark fruit on the strikingly long, floral-tinged finish, which is framed by youthfully chewy tannins. Raised for 32 months in new French and American oak barrels.

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.
