Robert Parker er endnu engang ude med flotte point og omtaler til vinene, og fordeler dem som du kan læse nedenfor.
Point-systemet:
90-95 point - An outstanding wine of exceptionel complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
96-100 point - An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
92 POINT - "The entry-level 2008 Mauro is composed of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Syrah aged in barrel for 16 months. According to Garcia the 2008 was -Atlantic influenced- in a cooler but very fine vintage with plenty of hang-time. It is a full-bodied, rich, racy offering with layered fruit, a vibrant acid structure, and savory black fruit flavors. On the palate all components are nicely integrated coming together in a long, pure finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and drink nicely through 2023." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

95+ POINT - "The 2006 Mauro V.S. (Vendimia Seleccionada) is 100% Tempranillo that makes a giant step up in richness compared to the Mauro cuvee. It also displays notable freshness which Garcia attributes to the significant temperature variance between daytime and nighttime. It exhibits a jammy confiture of black fruits in an opulent, liqueur-like frame. It will easily evolve for another 6-8 years and see its 20th birthday in fine form." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

98 POINT - "The flagship cuvee, the 2006 Mauro Terreus is sourced from a single vineyard of old-vine Tempranillo produced only in the better vintages. Like the V.S. bottling, it demonstrates a vibrant, energetic personality complementing its fragrant bouquet of exotic spices, lavender, and black fruits. Plush, rich, and layered, it has terrific volume, precision balance, and enough structure to evolve for 8-10 years. This lengthy effort will provide much pleasure through 2031." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com
