<strong>Ranked #8 on 2010 Top 100 Cellar Selections</strong>; A beautiful but enormous style of red wine with char leather and saturated black fruit aromas. There's also some lemony oak that will shed itself with time. Overall it's rich delicious and a real fruit bomb with chocolate vanilla caramel coffee and mocha all of which are reflections of the oak aging it sees. PS stands for s seleccionados and it's really an example of the new school in full session. Best 2013-2017 due to its heft and extraction. M.S.

The opaque purple 2006 Aalto offers up a brooding bouquet of wood smoke graphite espresso leather blueberry and blackberry liqueur. This leads to a full-bodied dense layered extracted wine with loads of fruit and the structure to match. Impeccably balanced and exceptionally long in the finish this large-scaled effort will benefit from 5-7 years of additional cellaring and provide a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2036. Bodegas y Vinedos Aalto is the estate of the renowned Mariano Garcia former winemaker at Vega Sicilia. -Jay Miller

This juicy red is packed with blackberry boysenberry and plum flavors. Licorice chocolate and tobacco notes add interest. This is thick with full tannins but stays plush and lively through the finish. Drink now through 2016. 500 cases imported. -TM
