RIBERA DEL DUERO / RED / 2018 & 2019 - 90% TEMPRANILLO, 10% OTHERS ROBERT PARKER: 94 points (Vintage 2018) The 2018 Mauro, from a cool and rainy year, is fresher than the 2019. It's a blend of 90 Tinto Fino or Tempranillo and 5% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from certified organic vineyards, and it is fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in French and American oak barrels and foudres for some 15 months. It's serious and a bit closed, a little more floral and aromatic. It feels younger and less developed than the 2019. It's powerful and has finesse and balance, with depth and complexity. 300 000 bottles produced.
