Product Details
2001 Aurus, Finca Allende, Rioja
(code: 58330B)
A perfect ambassador for new-wave Rioja from a memorable recent vintage. There
are truffles and wild herbs on the nose and a full, richly textured palate with
excellent length. A wine for keeping.
"Price aside, there is no question that the 2001 Aurus, an 85% Tempranillo/15% Graciano blend, is a profound offering. It possesses a fabulously complex nose of black fruits intermixed with truffles, licorice, smoky oak, and flowers. Voluptuously-textured with super concentration,and a finish that lasts nearly a minute, this monumental Rioja should drink well young, yet last for 15 years." 95/100 pts (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - June 2005)
