The 2022 Mauro is a little richer and more exuberant than the 2021 I tasted next to it, but it has a balance, freshness and elegance that is remarkable for the year, which was warmer, drier and riper. The tannins didn’t achieve the same level of elegance and sophistication, but again, are superb for the conditions of the year. The parameters are similar, with the customary 14.5% alcohol. It was produced with the usual blend of 85% Tempranillo with 15% Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano and matured in French oak barrels and foudres for 16 months. 300,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.
