Aurus

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

»Aurus« von Allende gehört sicherlich zu den meisterlichen Rotweinen aus der Rioja. Er zeigt bereits in seiner Jugend wunderbare Eleganz und Finesse und hat dennoch ein enormes Alterungspotential. Robert Parker's Wine Advocat urteilt: »The 2008 Aurus is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano from 60-year-old vines around Briones that are aged for 24 months in Troncais new oak barrels. It has a supremely refined, feminine bouquet that unfurls nicely in the glass: creme de cassis, blueberry, crushed stone and a faint tang of marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannins over-layering dense blackberry and raspberry fruit that gently builds to a spicy, well-defined finish with cocoa lingering on the grippy aftertaste. Drink 2015-2025.« (Neal Martin) Und Stefan Tanzer`s International Wine Cellar urteilt im Okt./Nov. 2011: »Bright ruby.  Kaleidoscopic bouquet of red berry preserves, sandalwood, rose and vanilla, with mounting spiciness and a hint of woodsmoke.  Sweet, penetrating raspberry and gingerbread flavors gain weight in the mouth and completely stain the palate, but betray no excess weight.  The red fruit and floral notes echo on the finish, which refuses to let up.  I'm sure that this wine will reward patience but I find it irresistible today.«
