Aurus 2015
£168.30 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I love the seriousness, restraint and balance of the 2015 Aurus, where all the components—varieties, acidity and alcohol—feel in good synchrony. The oak is nicely integrated, leaving a thin patina of fine spices and toast but with a core that reveals violets, red and black fruit and aromatic herbs. 2015 was a year of powerful reds with abundant tannins, and the challenge was to control the power, which is nicely resolved here and the wine feels very balanced and harmonious. The proportion of varieties is 85% Tempranillo with 15% Graciano. The wine is ripe without excess and shows power and elegance. This should age into a very classical Rioja with time in bottle. 4,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2017.
