Ribera del Duero, 2020

justerini & brooks tasting note

A wine of great consistency, the 2020 is warm and supple and well-balanced with a combination of red and black fruits, some alluring toasted notes and a long, bold, shimmering finish. Raised in French and American oak barrels for 18 months.

critic reviews

94/100Luis Gutierrez,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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. 330,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2022.
