Bodegas Aalto - Ribera Del Duero Aalto 2007

Ribera del Duero|Red wine

4.2/5 (39 customers)

Rating: Robert Parker 95/100
“The 2007 Aalto offers an extremely fragrant bouquet of toast, pencil lead, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense and opulent on the palate, this powerful wine is succulent, pure, and exceptionally long. It will continue to evolve for another 6–8 years and will reach its peak between 2016 and 2032.” (Robert Parker – April 2010)
