Tasting notes
Belongs to Mariano García – Vega Sicilia’s winemaker for 30 years. 40- to 100-year-old vines, all bush vines, grapes bought in from seven villages. He didn't make any PS (his top wine) in 2007. SO perfumed! Velvety and rich with lavish mid-palate density. Dry, with sweet plum fruit and exotic spice. Velvety tannins and reverberating length. So exciting. (TC)

The 2007 Aalto is 100% Tinto Fino aged for 24 months in French and American barriques. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it emits a super-fragrant bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense and opulent on the palate, this loaded effort is succulent, pure, and exceptionally lengthy. It will evolve for 6-8 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2032. Bodegas y Vinedos Aalto is a partnership between Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini. The fruit for Aalto is sourced from seven different villages with vines ranging in age from 40 to100 years.
