Tasted with a tenderloin steak at a beach restaurant near Marbella, this young Aalto has all the hallmarks that has made Aalto one of the best Ribera’s year after year. Absolutely drinkable already now, it will probably be even better in a few years time… Enjoy!

Still fantastic! I have tried at least 10 different vintages of Cantemerle, and 1999 is by far the best (followed by 1989 and 1996). It's ironical that the chateau had problems selling this vintage because Parker rated it 79 points...
This textbook mature Bdx will have all you want for at least three more years: Earth, forest floor, leather, cassis, cedar and tertiary notes with sweet tannins and nice acidity. Enjoy!

Cherries, minerals, dark bitter chokolate, and too much acidity in my opinion. NOT worth the money - you really pay for the name here
