All auctions / Wine & Spirits / 1988 AOP Maury Vintage - Maury - 2 Jennies (0.5L)


2 x AOP Natural sweet wines Maury 1988 – Vintage Collection – An Exceptional Treasure from Maury winemakers in Roussillon Presented in their elegant Vintage Collection cases, these two bottles of Maury 1988 embody the timeless nobility of one of France's most revered Vin Doux Naturels. Born from the sun-drenched schist terraces of Maury and patiently matured over decades, this rare vintage is a remarkable testament to the artistry of time. More than thirty-five years after harvest, the wine has reached a level of complexity and refinement that only the finest fortified wines can achieve. A Rare Expression of Time The 1988 vintage reveals a deep mahogany robe and an extraordinarily luxurious aromatic palette. Successive layers of dried figs, black cherries preserved in alcohol, candied fruits, cocoa, roasted coffee, liquorice and precious spices unfold with remarkable elegance. Notes of walnut, caramel and noble rancio add further depth and sophistication. On the palate, the wine is sumptuous and silky, combining concentration, freshness and impeccable balance. The finish is exceptionally long, lingering with nuances of dark chocolate, dried fruits and sweet spices. An Experience Reserved for Connoisseurs Maury is often regarded as one of the hidden gems of the world's great fortified wines. Mature examples from outstanding vintages such as 1988 have become increasingly scarce, particularly when preserved in their original presentation cases. Whether enjoyed alongside rare dark chocolate, aged blue cheeses, foie gras or simply as a contemplative after-dinner wine, this vintage offers an unforgettable tasting experience.
