critic reviews
The 2022 PS, from Quintanilla de Arriba in Valladolid, Ribera del Duero, is defined by its oak aging. Coconut, vanilla, cedar and balsamic notes dominate the nose, joined by precise plum and herbal nuances. The palate is plush and creamy, with polished, worked tannins. It delivers layered fruit and oak. A modern classic for the region, marrying power with poise.
There's always a little bit more of everything in the PS compared with the regular Aalto. The 2022 PS, cropped from a very warm and dry year, is not only more powerful and tannic but also more balanced and elegant, in that Castilian rustic way. It comes in at 15% alcohol and packs a punch; it's generously oaked (it spent 20 months in new French oak barrels), creamy, toasty and smoky and leaves a dry, chalky sensation in the finish. This is very much for the fans of the style. It's powerful and concentrated with abundant oak. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024.
