Bodegas Mauro VS (Vendimia Seleccionada) VT Castilla y Leon Red 2019	95 Wine Advocate The heady, meaty, smoky and spicy 2019 VS has an exuberant nose that’s really open, expressive and powerful, reflecting a warm and dry year with 60% less rain than the average. The grapes were picked on September 11 and 18 from the vineyards in Traspinedo and El Rosal, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in a combination of new and used barriques for 26 months. This is a serious red for the long haul, a textbook Castilian Tempranillo with very good ripeness and power, 14.5% alcohol and generous but integrated oak that should get more and more integrated as years go by. This cuvée has a very good track record for ageability, produced by very good vineyards on sand, clay, limestone and boulder soils. 48,689 bottles produced It was bottled in January 2022.

Bodegas Mauro VS (Vendimia Seleccionada) VT Castilla y Leon Red 2020	93 Wine Spectator Herbaceous on the nose, with hints of crushed pine and thyme. On the palate this swathes firm, fine-grained tannins in a creamy mix of plum pudding, mandarin orange peel, mocha and graphite notes. Fresh and focused on the lingering, spiced finish. Best from 2026 through 2031. 3,600 cases made, 200 cases imported.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Bodegas Mauro VS (Vendimia Seleccionada) VT Castilla y Leon Red 2021	96+ Wine Advocate The 2021 VS follows the same path as the rest of the 2021s, with elegance, perfume and purity, but it has more depth than the regular Mauro and a little more concentration and tannins but with the same terrific balance and harmony that should mean a long and positive development in bottle. It’s precise and combines power with elegance like few vintages before (1996, 2001, 2018), and it has integrated oak after 26 months in French oak barrels. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2024.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
