Aalto Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2020 (Spain) Rated 94WA

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 94
The nose of the red 2020 Aalto comes blasting with tons of toasted oak, spice, smoke and more toast, ripe berries and a luxurious creaminess like the finest modern wines from the turn of the century. This is predictable but exactly what their customers are looking for, with ripe berries, generous oak and a velvety palate with volume, soft tannins and mellow acidity. It matured in French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Some things never change. Drink 2023-2028.

Wine Tasting Notes
On the nose well ripened fruits, spices, great freshness, and minerals highlight the aromatic complexity of the vintage. On the palate, Aalto Ribera del Duero Tempranillo has a good, broad, and an attractive structure with perfectly assembled silky tannins, a balanced acidity, and a long and fresh finish.
