Miguel Angel de Gregorio, the proprietor of Finca Allende, grew up in Rioja and was heavily influenced by his father, who was the head viticulturist at the Ygay estate of Marques de Murrieta. He established his own project in 1994 and has since become known as one of the finest winemakers in the region. The 2008 Aurus is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano with wonderful scents of cassis, blueberry, violets, liquorice, coffee and aromatic herbs. Superbly harmonious on the palate, it glides across the tongue with tannins providing subtle but necessary framework, and culminates in a deliciously long, mineral-infused finish.

Vinous
(85% tempranillo and 15% graciano): 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.Josh Raynolds1st November 2011
