"The 2000 Aro, an unfiltered blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Graciano produced from 60 year old vines and aged 18 months in 100% new French oak . . . . An inky/purple color is followed by a superb bouquet of lead pencil shavings, black currant liqueur, cherries, new saddle leather, and earthy/soil undertones. It possesses super richness, a beautiful, full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel, admirable purity, and a long, concentrated finish with the tannin, acidity, and wood all smoothly integrated."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
