Wine Advocate 91 points - The 2009 Aalto has a rich decadent, floral bouquet with licorice-tinged dark berries with earthy, almost peaty aromas underneath the carapace of fruit. The palate is full-bodied with dense tannins, but good acidity and very fine harmony and focus. There are hints of star anis toward the multi-layered finish that possesses great length. Superb. Drink 2018-2030. ” (Feb 2013)
Mariano Garcia left Vega Sicilia after 30 vitages and founded AALTO. It is not a surprise it was rated 95 points by the Wine Advocate. 100% Tempranillio, rich blackberry and minerality combine for a great experience.RP 91
