The 2001 Aurus is not quite as loaded as the 2004 and 2005 but is a complete wine with no rough edges. Fast becoming approachable, it should be at its best from 2012 to 2026. The Calvario Vertical Tasting : Allende’s Calvario cuvee is typically 90% old-vine Tempranillo and the balance Garnacha and Graciano sourced from the vineyard of the same name planted in 1945. The wine is aged in new French oak for 16 months and bottled without filtration. The Aurus Vertical Tasting : The flagship Aurus is typically 85% old-vine Tempranillo and 15% Graciano aged in new French oak for 24 months.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.

This punchy red is dominated by toasty, smoky oak flavors, but there's plenty of ripe fruit underneath, with notes of plum, raisin and spice, and enough acidity to keep it lively. Drink now through 2010. 125 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Miguel Angel de Gregorio makes wines that match his exuberant personality, and Aurus, with 85% old-vine Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, is his premier offering. The 2001’s exotic nose pumps licorice, clove, nutmeg and vanilla on top of the ripest black-fruit aromas going. With pillowy tannins, unmatched breadth and huge flavors of blackberry, plum and chocolate, there’s no denying this wine’s quality and stature.——M.S.(6/1/2005)—— 96
