Mauro Terreus Paraje de Cueva Baja 2014 750 ML

Inky ruby. Explosive, ripe and seductive on the nose, with potent, oak-laced blackberry, cassis, raspberry and cherry liqueur-like intensity to the fruit aromas, along with some suave floral accents and suggestions of cigar box, exotic chocolate and smoky bacon; this smells like the Platonic gourmet shop. Rich, supple and broad, the dark berry flavors wonderfully complemented by sexy oak spice and mocha notes, with serious but thoroughly harmonious tannins providing structure. Finishes on a warm, ripe note, with lingering sweetness.\n \n Producer Information\n Bodegas Mauro is a well-regarded wine producer based in Tudela de Duero and making wines under the regional Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León title, some 190km (120 miles) northwest of Madrid.Located just outside the Ribera del Duero wine region, Bodegas Mauro has been in operation since 1978 with a cellar dating back to the 17th Century.
