Critics scores

95 Wine Spectator

Blackberry and currant flavors mingle with anise, nutmeg, forest floor and mineral notes in this sleek red. Muscular tannins are well-integrated, and balsamic acidity keeps this balanced. Expressive and harmonious, in the modern style. Drink now through 2030. 195 cases imported.

94 Robert Parker

I find the 2015 PS to be a little marked by the élevage from a dry and warm year that resulted in a concentrated wine. The grapes come from La Horra, La Aguilera and Hontoria, and they used a little more grapes from La Horra. This is a ripe, heady, concentrated Tempranillo with abundant, grainy tannins. It's a wine for fans of the style and needs several years in bottle to balance its tannins. This reaches 15% alcohol. It's a different style from the regular Aalto from this same year, but it's not necessarily better, just a matter of taste. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017.

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”.
