The blackberry, licorice, cocoa and cola flavors are ripe and lean toward sweetness in this plush red, but a vein of mineral keeps this balanced. The thick texture is supported by well-integrated tannins, and balsamic acidity keeps this lively. Modern-style, dense and balanced. Drink now through 2027. 40 cases imported. –TM
Producer
Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos
Mariano García, owner of Bodegas Mauro and Maurodos, is originally known for his work at the Spanish icon, Vega Sicilia. Today, he is busy running his own Aalto estate which he founded with partner, Javier Zaccagnini in 1999. With a shared goal to craft concentrated, dense, and modern-styled wines from Ribera del Duero, the young winery has grown tremendously in the past years. The 42-hectare property is farmed organically, and spread across the provinces of Valladolid and Burgos. Their flagship and most popular wine, a pure Tinto Fino (the local name for Tempranillo), Aalto, is extremely dense and fruitful. The 2012 vintage was even ranked number six in The Wine Spectator’s “The Top 10 Wines of 2015”.
