NV Les Vignerons de Maury Maury 1928 Solera Vin Doux Naturel

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

5/7/2008 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 92 points

Wine Cellar - South of France (Wine Cellar): (Tasted Blind): A mid-deep brown colour. Sweet nose, very heady and lifted with notes of fresh spices, treacle toffee (Thorntons toffee) with warmed sliced walnuts inside!, dark (90%) chocolate and some damp oak. Sweet entry, oxidative/rancio but still fresh and nicely balanced, this remarkable wine displays incredible complexity and leaves a lasting impression. Wow!
Made from 90 yr-old Grenache vines, low yield of 3-12 hL/Ha. Casks kept in the roof of the Maury Coop. The solera system they use (started in 1928?) only removes a quarter of the liquid at any one time,

Much better than I remember it. I’ve had this bottle in the cellar for over 10 years and it showed a nice mix of nuttiness and red fruit. Deep and complex with quite a bit of intensity. Excellent.

Last glass on Jan 1st.

This is a behemoth of a fantastic wine. Exceptional in every way. The vibrant intensity of the raspberries and sloan are breathtaking. The herbal qualities sing! I almost start crying from the beauty of this wine, still pushing tannins up my palate (^。^)

Perfect balance, length, composition, intensity, typicity and uniqueness 💯💯💯💯💯

It’s rare to have things this elevated in your glass…

Aaah maaaaa gaaaawd!
This is perfectly balanced, complexity over the rainbow and never ends.

Colour: like an early maturity Bdx.
Nose is beautiful and speaks with a sweet diction: rancio, fresh figs, spearmint, Christmas spice, glühwein, glögg and Grenache fruit 🍑 in a way that feels like a maximum of 25 years old...
Medium sweet, ultima complex and complete. Fresh figs, raisins and spearmint compete on the front palate.

The mid-palate is a different animal, where the main tension is between the acidity and the sugars. This is the poetically perfect place. Just like one of Emily Dickinson's poems that is expected to, but doesn't rhyme... There's a bitter pang in here that bites the head off of all expectations.

The grand finale is on fire 🔥
A bit of alcoholic heat and sweetness sets the stage for the pure and clean ending. Like a loving relationship that doesn't end, but instead slowly dissipates. All the beauty and glory of this wine feels like the remnants in the sky of a Master's fireworks finale...

It's a torture to suddenly find my glass: empty...

Wow!

Was saving this last bottle to drink with my father, who was born in 1928. But for the last few years he hadn't been drinking wine or alcohol of any sort any more so we never found the occasion to drink it. He died today, just a few days before his 94th birthday, so I decided to open this bottle and drink it with some friends. Call it the mood or whatever, but I found this wine to be terrific. Full of life and interest, plenty of biting acidity and a good dose of residual sugar. Yeah, maybe not the most profound wine in the world, but today it was 100 points. Here's to you, pops.

Decanted and drunk in one sitting. Medium sweet, nutty wine with nice oxidative flavours. Like a medium sherry in style. Nicely aged, Raisin and walnuts with good balancing acidity.

By the glass. Caramelised and lactic almonds and peanuts.Unlimited complexity. Juicy and a creamy texture on the palate.Lacking in acidity but deeply delicious.

Por copas. Almendras y cacahuetes garrapiñados y lácticos. Complejidad sin límite. Jugoso y una textura cremosa al paladar. Falto de acidez pero profundamente delicioso.

Not my favourite of these tremendous 1928 Solera Mauries. Rather murky, and with hindsight it would have benefited from decanting. A point or two less than my previous notes.

Cask 873. Cherry jam, raspberry, dried currants, allspice, prune and toffee. It is really quite fun, if a little cherry dominant. Falls away a little on the finish. But fabulous value!

Southwest French Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Lovely flowers with notes of berries

P: Med body; ALMOST swtish frt (threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent pucker which only somewhat resolves by the Lingering, very slightly bitterish finish. A niche wine for swtish cuisines? [As of late Apr '20, wine-searcher shows no sources for this vintage].

Reds from S. France (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): [Judging from notes of previous vintages, LIKELY something like 80:20 Grenache: Mourvedre, & 14.5% or so ABV.]

N: Jammy, but with a minerality? More to give?

P: Med, poss MF, body; ALMOST swtish frt & POSS some heat (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by a puckerish astringency which only somewhat works itself out by the LONG, very slightly astringent finish. NEEDS 2 yrs, I'd guess, but *if* it resolves its astringency, a potential steal @ the tasted $12.95? [As of late Mar '20, wine-searcher shows no sources for this vintage]

Official B’day at Bibendum (Bibendum, London): Faded brown, more burnt sienna than tawny. Sweet but with a savoury mellowness. Unsurprisingly goes very well with the 100% Cocoa chocolate soufflé. Lots to like here. ****

Wax topping to bottle pretty messy to open. Orange brown amber colour. Sweet and mellow nose. Brilliant match for Roquefort. Gentler than a Madeira but similar brown sugar hints. Mouth filling, lingering dry fruit raisiny mix, hintsof fig. Sweet but not sticky, good balancing acidity. Works at a number of different levels more complex than a Muscat but less to it than a vintage port. Good value.

Cask 875. Good, but unbalanced. Nutty, treacly, stewed prunes; raisins, dates and figs. But something is off - it's a bit rancid. This wine is flawed. There's a noticeable decay here. Pity!

Sweet, brown sugar and prunes. Not overly alcoholic, but also not a lot of depth to this. Certainly an intriguing wine, and fun to drink though.

Another week, Another Burgundy Thursday: Typical Maury rustic tannins with notes of prune, dried fig, and light orange zest. There is enough acidity to balance the sweet, but not enough fruit to balance tannin. It is still very pleasant though.

Very oaky sweet red in style of port, vin doux natural. A solid amount of depth, not unusual for solera system wines, but also heaps of oak and tannins. The tannins offset the sweetness rather than acidity, but the overall effect is very pleasant for us - but we love oak.

Sat, 3/24/18, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): [Judging from notes of previous vintages, LIKELY something like 80:20 Grenache: Mourvedre, & 14.5% or so ABV.]

N: RIPE, jammy berries with smoke & poss some choc; Poss some garrigue?

P: LM body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (threshold R.S.?) met by firming astringency which morphs into a LONG, bitterSWT finish with notes of very, VERY fine tannins which still retain the wine's init swtness. Interesting in a stylistic way, & could improve through '18, then drink for 2-3 yrs more. My VG, poss VG+. [This vendor's $12.95 is ~ $2 < than the only other current wine-searcher listing.]

Mahogany color with a bouquet and flavor hinting at dried apricots but dominated by tart acidity with moderate sweetness. Despite the age of the solera, it did not strike me as exceptional or memorable. One more dessert wine that I kept too long, again because of what I call the "d"Quem" cult. In an ideal world, all cult wines would be tasted maximally blinded, meaning blinded to even the type. This might end some of the excessive hype, and fifteen flavor-tasting notes.
