"Floral, fresh and balanced, Mauro 2013 is far less extracted and oaky than in some previous vintages; it's more transparent and precise. The wine is round with a lovely freshness, and lighter than other vintages. Fresh on the palate, with good balance and acidity. Mauro regulars looking for power and concentration may be disappointed, but for those looking for a more drinkable Mauro, you'll be delighted with this 2013. One month less in barrel compared to previous vintages, for an ageing process more respectful of this lighter vintage." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)
