Bodegas Mauro, "Terreus" VT Castilla y Leon Red, Cima de Cueva Baja 2021	98+ Wine Advocate The 2021 Terreus Cima de Cueva Baja is among the finest vintages for this exceptional red from the top terrace of a vineyard at 800 meters above sea level with a specific microclimate that makes for a profound, complex, powerful and nuanced wine that is among the best in the Duero region and has a track record for longevity like very few others. The bunches are cooled down before being put through a sorting table, destemmed and transported by gravity (in an “ovi” type vat) to the stainless steel fermentation tanks, where it fermented with indigenous yeasts and went through malolactic. It matured in French oak barrels for 20 months. The good thing about these wines is that they are produced in good quantities, as there are 10,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in August 2023. It has a long life ahead of it. Bravo. 94 Wine Spectator This vibrant red’s dark underpinning of tarry smoke, fig cake and black licorice notes is counterpointed by a pure beam of pureed boysenberry, plus accents of spiced orange peel, thyme and violet. Although tightly blended and muscular today, this shows an overall sense of equilibrium that suggests good aging potential and more to come. Best from 2027 through 2034. 825 cases made, 100 cases imported.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
