Aalto PS 2008 is a robust red blend primarily composed of Tempranillo and sourced from select vineyards in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Aalto was founded in 1999 by former Vega Sicilia enologist Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini, who sought to produce wines that reflect both the terroir and the potential of the region. The 2008 vintage showcases a deep concentration of dark fruit flavours underscored by subtle oak influences from carefully selected barrels. The vineyard practices include low yields to enhance fruit quality, contributing to its structure and ageing potential.

Vinous
Opaque purple. Explosive aromas of black and blue fruit liqueurs, smoky Indian spices, mocha and minerals, with a sexy floral quality in the background. Fleshy and smooth, with excellent clarity and spicy lift to its cassis and mulberry flavors. Repeats the blue fruit note on the very long, sweet, focused finish. This is delicious now but has the depth to age as well.Josh Raynolds1st November 2011
