Aalto PS 2008 is made from Tempranillo 100% . Grapes from 80-year-old vineyards. Manual harvest. Aging during 30 months in new French oak barrels and then during 3 months in bottle. Only made in the best vintages.
Tasting notes: Intense cherry colour with purple rim. On nose, attractive and very penetrating. Scents of red berries and cocoa, spicy and roasted on a bed of aromatic herbs and minerals. On palate, intense, sweet, tasty and full-bodied. Creamy, perfectly integrated fruit with toasty elements. Extraordinary acidity. Very long lasting.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 95 points(01/01/2011)
"A glass-coating opaque purple color, it is already displaying a complex aromatic array of sandalwood, smoke, espresso, lavender, Asian spices, and assorted blue and black fruits. Smooth-textured, succulent, and structured, it will evolve for 2-3 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2028."
