2002 Bodegas Aalto SA Ribera del Duero (Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero)


Can be best described as essence of blackberry with dusty red dirt and mineral infusion. Not particularly complex nor mind-blowing, but a wine that's drinking well right now with already soft tannins (especially with an hour or so of air). Although this could go for another few years in the cellar, I don't think it has the components to get better with cellaring, so I would recommend drinking up. At least that's what I'll do. At today's retail prices, I would not buy it again.
