Description:

This 2-pack includes 1 bottle of 2005 - Convento San Francisco Ribera Del Duero, and 1 bottle of 2009 - San Roman Toro.

2005 - Convento San Francisco Ribera Del Duero:
"The 2005 Covento San Francisco is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Merlot with 50% of the Tempranillo vineyards dating from pre-phylloxera times. The wine was sourced from 46 different sites. Opaque purple-colored, it offers a superb bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, saddle leather, and blackberry. Opulent, full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, the wine has terrific depth and enough structure to evolve for at least 6-8 years. This lengthy wine will come into its own by 2018 and drink well through 2035." (02/08) - 93 Pts Jay Miller - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Wine:
"The fruit is sourced from a variety of vineyard sites around Ribera del Duero. In Olivares del Duero and Qintanilla de Onesimo, the soils are calcareous. In Penafiel, the soils become sandier. Near Burgos (Gumiel de Mercado), farthest east, the sites are at their highest elevations and the soils are sandy with alluvial and marl components."

"Each site is selected for its altitude, latitude and soil composition. 50% of these vineyards are pre-phylloxera and have very old vines. A blend of 90% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 10% Merlot. Fermentation occurs in very small stainless steel vats, punched down twice daily by hand. The wine is then aged in French and American barrels for 15 months."

"Very deep in color with a nose of tobacco and black fruits. The palate shows tobacco, blackberry, anise, black cherry and clove flavors, with the animal overtones typical to the district. Excellent structure and a lingering finish." -Importer

Winemaker:
"Javier Garcia Diez (Peter Sisseck's right hand for several years in Hacienda Monasterio) is proprietor and winemaker of this tiny, modern winery built inside a lovingly restored 14th century monastery in the fortress town of Penafiel. The vines run from 86 to 102 years of age, carefully balancing the region's three predominant soil-types, and are sourced from 46 different vineyard sites in Ribera del Duero." -Winery

This was also rated 84 points by the Wine Enthusiast.

2009 - San Roman Toro:
"The 2009 San Roman comes from 45-year-old bush vines or older in San Roman, Morales de Toro, Arjujillo, Villaester and El Pego between 720 and 760 meters and sees 24 months in new and used French (70%) and American (30%) oak. It offers a very seductive bouquet with luscious red berry fruit – raspberry, wild strawberry infused with crushed violets that open with aeration. The palate is full-bodied and very well-balanced, ripe succulent tannins, plush blueberry and black cherries forming the core followed by a silky, ripe, sensual, velvety smooth finish. Modern in style, but extremely well-crafted, this is a sensational, delicious Toro red. Drink now-2018+. " - 96 Pts Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Alluring notes of violet, cardamom and cocoa frame cherry, licorice and toast accents in this expressive red. The solid structure lends depth, while the juicy acidity maintains freshness. Tinto de Toro. Drink now through 2020. 5,000 cases made. -TM" (09/13) - 91 Pts Wine Spectator

Estate:
"Bodegas y Vinedos Maurodos owns 55 hectares in the villages of Villaester and San Roman de Hornija, planted mainly with Tinta de Toro, which come from the same family as Tempranillo, but adapted to Toro over centuries. This adaptation has lead to smaller berries which in turn lead to deeper color and more intense aroma and structure than typical of Tempranillo from other regions. It is possible to separate two different soil areas, in Villaester the soil has sand and clay with some gravels, while in San Roman the soil is more stony."

"Grapes mature sooner in San Roman than Villaester. The vines range in age up to 70 years old and are pruned to grow as bushes rather than on vertical trellises. On the vines the grapes hang low under a rounded canopy of leaves that protects them from scorching summer temperatures. This type of pruning concentrates the flavor of the grapes as it naturally limits the yield of grapes for each vine." -Winery
