Finca Allende, Aurus Vintage:1996 The more refined

The more refined

B Superblend comes across as more refined and elegant than the 802

Lovely and very Chambolle

Good stuff that is built-to-age

Finca Allende, Aurus Vintage:1996 The more refinedThe 1996 Aurus has a rustic, leathery bouquet that is animally and feral. The palate is medium bodied with light, slightly disjointed tannins, while the fruit seems to have ebbed away towards the simple finish. Drink now. Commencing with the Allende Blanc, I was impressed by how well this ages. Predominantly Viura with a higher percentage of Malvasia in older vintages, it develops a fine waxy texture and almost dried Barsac like personality.
