Bodegas Y Vinedos Maurodos "Prima" 2004
Ver mensaje de WaltZalenskiI recently had the pleasure of drinking a barrel sample of the 2004 Prima with Mariano Garcia. The premier vintage of this wine, now sometimes known as ";Baby San Roman,"; was 2003. That wine is a bright, mouthfilling, fruit-driven wine with a slightly boisterous personality. The wine could often be found for about $15, which I felt was one of the best bargains in the market. The 2004 will be markedly better. The fruit comes from 10-20 year old vines on sandy soil, and the wine most likely will be bottled after 12-13 months in oak. The barrel sample was dinking beautifully with dinner. My sense is that the 2003 Prima was a somewhat of an opportunistic effort and a bit of an experiment (although an opportunity seized by no less than one of the world’s greatest winemakers). The 2004 is more purposefully built -- from the vineyard up. Where the 2003 was more exuberant, the 2004 is more sophisticated (within limits -- it is a Toro after all). It is more more balanced, and particularly more delineated and focussed.
My previous impression has been that 2004 will be a knockout vintage in Toro overall. With the 2004 Prima, a superstar winemaker offers an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of this exceedingly promising vintage at a price that thankfully will remain at 2003 levels.

I look forward to it. I enjoyed the 2003, a good value every day drinking wine.

Ver mensaje de rayolYes, I expect 2004 to be great - at least along the Duero valley.

Nope....
Ver mensaje de WaltZalenskiWe’ve got some Terreus that supposedly is by far more difficult to find but Mauro (Mariano’s son) in person told us that was really difficult to find... However... I won’t surrender ;-))))
Re: Nope....
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónTerreus is not at all difficult to find here. It is just difficult to afford.
Re: Nope....
Ver mensaje de WaltZalenskiWell, here is not that easy to find... However, there are a few bottles in our brand new on-line shop.... http://tienda.verema.com ... ;-))) Ermm, sorry, at this moment only in Spanish and for the internal market...
