Thunevin-Calvet Maury 1986

Thunevin-Calvet Maury is praised for its rich, full-bodied nature and complex flavors of dried fruits, prunes, and plums. While some appreciate its port-like character and nuanced finish, others find it too dense or prefer lighter wines. Notable for its aged tawny notes, it offers a long, satisfying conclusion with hints of chocolate and nuts, though some vintages lack density.

This profound Maury unveils a deep garnet hue, setting the stage for an aromatic symphony of black cherry compote, dark chocolate, and dried fig, underscored by a whisper of garrigue. On the palate, it boasts a full-bodied, velvety texture, seamlessly integrating ripe tannins with a vibrant acidity that enlivens its rich, sweet core. The wine's complexity is further enhanced by layers of licorice and a hint of roasted coffee bean, culminating in a lingering, harmonious finish. Exemplifying the quintessential balance and intensity of Roussillon fortified wines, this Maury is both a testament to its terroir and a delight to the senses.
