2021. This big, fruity, oaky (vanilla) wine does not exhibit 16% abv and doesn’t really have a tannic bite. Used to be one of my annual buys, but not any longer. Saw it in the wine store and they had two bottles left on discount to make room for the 2022 vintage. Since I do like this wine with grilled steak, I picked one up and the crowd enjoyed it. I did too with my last bites of ribeye. — 15 days ago

Elegante. Especiado en nariz. En boca destaca sobre todo las especias que aporta la madera (24 meses en barrica). El 2013 es mas equilibrado todavía que el 2015. Acidez casi perfecta.

The fruit for this wine was the second selection from the sorting table (third if you count the crows that are known to take their share from this vineyard). Pure black fruits, seeds and all. Fine tannin and decent acid. Turned out to be a wonderful pairing with our paella courtesy of the Hunger Block (Omaha). Definitely a quaffer but has enough of the right things in the right places to keep things interesting. — 6 years ago

Mariano’s Garcias crown jewel, he was the front man at Vega Sicilia for three decades. He then founded Aalto with the vision of creating the highest quality RdD which you didn’t have to wait fifteen years to enjoy. Many think he’s done it! I pretty much agree. — 9 months ago

Aromas and flavors of dark berries and plums. Hints of dark chocolate, earth and fresh herbs. Good structure with a smooth and silky texture. Great QPR. Enjoyed at the North Shore House Wine Pairing Dinner on June 24, 2020. Wine of the night. — 6 years ago

STWC. Red fruit aroma with sweet buttery tobacco notes (like Larsen no 32). Taste: cherries! And vanilla. Lovely tannins from front to back. This is a classy balanced fruity tannic wine that lasts. A bit polished for me but I like it a lot. — 7 years ago
