95 Robert Parker
The 2013 Aalto PS was bottled at the same time as the regular 2013 Aalto, which means less time in oak (for this limited cuvée all the barrels were new) and the vintage was a little lighter and had higher acidity. They also had to do a more careful sorting, which resulted in less wine. The nose is subtler and more balanced and integrated. The bottled wine has less alcohol than previous years. The fresher vintages definitively take the oak in a different way and the wood feels better integrated; there are violets, bright cherries and fresher fruit than in other vintages, showing more of the character of the place and the grape. It's very open, hedonistic, aromatic and showy. It's very young and accessible, but I'd wait a little to get the edges nicely polished by the bottle. It should have a long life ahead and a nice development. A very nice vintage of PS, but don't get me wrong, it's still in its generous and well-oaked style. 16,000 bottles, a shorter vintage, were filled in July 2015. 2013 has delivered the freshest bottles of Aalto so far, a lighter regular Aalto and one of the best PS to date.

Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos
Mariano Garcia, propriétaire de Bodegas Mauro et Maurodos, s’est d’abord distingué comme œnologue auprès de Vega Sicilia, icône parmi les vins espagnols. A présent, il s’occupe de son propre domaine, Aalto, fondé en 1999 en partenariat avec Javier Zaccagnini. Les deux compères partagent le même objectif, celui d’élaborer un Ribera del Duero concentré et dense au profil moderne. En peu de temps, le jeune domaine a connu un développement rapide. Cette propriété de 42 hectares est cultivée en agriculture biologique et s’étend sur les provinces de Valladolid et de Burgos. Le fleuron de la gamme, également le plus recherché, se nomme Aalto et est élaboré exclusivement à partir de tinto fino, vocable local du tempranillo. Cette cuvée, extrêmement dense au fruité abondant, a même vu son millésime 2012 classé sixième parmi les « 100 Meilleurs Vins de 2015 » selon le Wine Spectator.
