Critics scores

95 Vinous

Dark violet color. Impressively complex black and blue fruit, floral and oak spice qualities on the nose; smoky mineral and vanilla flourishes emerge as the wine stretches out. Concentrated and sweet yet lively as well, offering palate-staining boysenberry and cherry cola flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Shows serious depth of flavor but comes off graceful, with polished tannins framing an impressively long, penetrating and focused finish.

95 Wine Spectator

This plush red delivers boysenberry and raspberry compote flavors, with notes of vanilla, licorice and forest floor. Firm tannins and bright acidity keep this focused. Sleek and polished through the floral finish. Vibrant and expressive. Drink now through 2028. 224 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”.
