Aalto
Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo
Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain
Deep Ruby Ribera del Duero from vines mostly up to 80-years old, (blended with amount of younger vine fruit), aged for 18 months in predominately French oak (20% new), aromas of complex fragrant fruit, spice and oak. On the palate ripe cherry and blackberry fruits, powerful yet elegant, with herb spice & smoky oak notes on full soft tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with spice and mineral earthy tones, a joy to Sip this Fine Wine. Aging well, great now!

Dec 31st, 2020This will benefit from more time in the cellar, but drinking well now. You wouldn’t know this was Tempranillo if you tasted it blind. I’m loving this.

Smooth as silk. Stunning fruit profile. Beautiful weight on the mid-palate. Extended finish.

Rich and structured, aromas and flavors of cinnamon, vanilla and smoke. But fruits are still apparent, like blackberry and black cherry. Tannins are velvety and acidity is medium + and adds the necessary structure. This wine is yummy, it’s a go-to wine for me - I quite love it!

It surprised me how fresh this still is! Youth is often wasted on the young but this wine managed to consciously show off with it at an age I would not have expected. It opens up considerably with air revealing a fresh fruity nose with notes of vanilla. The palette is rich, fruity and quite lengthy with grippy but ripe tannins. This wine remains one of the best values from Spain and it’s one of the best Aalto vintages I have ever tasted. 94+

Every bottle I drink is more in balance and complex. Dark fruits, modest toast en good tannines. This wine keeps on being a treat!😁
