The 2007 Auditon is 100% Garnacha sourced from a single vineyard with 80- to 100-year-old vines. It spent 13 months in French oak. It offers a more complex aromatic array than the Brao cuvee with liquid minerals, smoky oak, incense, cinnamon, roasted herbs, and black cherry compote. On the palate this full-bodied, muscular, large-scaled effort is loaded with spicy black fruits and ripe tannin. Intense, concentrated, and impeccably balanced, it demands 6-8 years of cellaring. It will offer a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2032. Importer: Steve Miles Selections, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 495-3811
