Decanted 1 hour. Again a good bottle. For me not the best Alto P.S. ever (no comparison to 2004 or 2005) but still a good wine. Ready to drink. 92-93 pts. at the moment.

Very dark colour, almost black. Strong scent of blackberries, black fruits. Doesn't fully live up to the expectation on the palate, but nevertheless very fruitful. I'm missing a bit of acidity to balance the power. Tanins already well built in (its my first Aalto PS, very different to the "normal"). Long finish.

Matson’s well qualified, from being a wine enthusiast and connoisseur (obviously)…
This wee wine was worth the wait!
Bloody yum!
