Bodegas Mauro Seleccionada 2001
This is one of Spain's greatest red wines, and perfect for current drinking. It will also age in a proper cellar through 2015. We store this wine in our temperature-controlled wine room, in the company of the finest growths of Bordeaux.
Wine Advocate
The 2001 Vendimia Seleccionada is equal to a Bordeaux first growth in quality. A massive, opulent red of tremendous power as well as great elegance and nuance, it boasts an inky/purple color along with a stunning perfume of blackberries, cassis, licorice, sweet oak, smoke, and espresso. While it reveals plenty of new oak, the fruit as well as potential complexity are impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020+.
Score: 96.

Wine Spectator
Expressive and focused, this red offers alluring floral, berry, mineral and toasty aromas that follow through on the palate, framed by firm tannins and enlivened by crisp acidity. Complex and balanced, in the modern style. Drink now through 2012.
Score: 92.
