Thrilling to explore the in-bottle evolution since I last enjoyed Aalto in the 2019 vintage in January 2022. This wine has now clearly entered the drinking window - rich, ripe w burgeoning complexity, wow! Lovely red-ruby, somewhat darkish core, otherwise translucent in appearance. A cascade of dark & red fruit - cassis, black- and blueberries, raspberries & cherries, tobacco, distinct pepper, a tad of iron. Full-bodied palate, vibrant acidity, real energy & grip, not overly heavy - just elegant, long, ripe close!

colour is dark, nearly opaque. nose is ripe, brooding and intense with dark berry fruit and toasted oak. palate is big and fruity, lively acidity hits you at the back of the throat. flavours of blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, and wood with a good spicy mineral backbone. determined tannin. a lovely drink early on here but i’d say upside to waiting 4-5 yrs.

91 for now, it’s young. Maybe a couple years will help, bur several years will imo. Solid balance, I think the good stuff is there with time.

Young but with a very promising future. Will buy more.
