2018 Aalto Ribera Del Duero 750ml

When I tasted it, the 2018 Aalto had already been blended and taken out of the barrels, waiting to be bottled in a couple of weeks. It's still young and tender, with peachy aromas, a little creamy and with a soft palate where the tannins are fine-grained. In 2018, they used more vineyards, grapes from their own plots and others purchased from suppliers. 2018 was a higher-yielding year that provided fresh and balanced wines. It should age nicely.
