2004 AALTO
A great Spanish Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero.
"The 2004 Aalto has a far different personality
than the 2003. More deeply colored, it is also significantly more
expressive aromatically. It reveals pain grille, pencil lead, wild
blueberry, black raspberry, and blackberry liqueur notes. Opulent
on the palate, it has layer upon layer of ripe fruit, and superb
length but is still an infant developmentally. Give this
top-flight effort 6-8 years to further evolve and drink it through
2032." - Wine Advocate 94/100
This wine isn't cheap at around $50 per bottle, but you get what
you pay for with this beauty!
