Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

There's always a little bit more of everything in the PS compared with the regular Aalto. The 2022 PS, cropped from a very warm and dry year, is not only more powerful and tannic but also more balanced and elegant, in that Castilian rustic way. It comes in at 15% alcohol and packs a punch; it's generously oaked (it spent 20 months in new French oak barrels), creamy, toasty and smoky and leaves a dry, chalky sensation in the finish. This is very much for the fans of the style. It's powerful and concentrated with abundant oak. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024. Drink Date 2027-2037. Rating 94/100. -Luis Gutiérrez-

Vinous:

The 2022 PS, from Quintanilla de Arriba in Valladolid, Ribera del Duero, is defined by its oak aging. Coconut, vanilla, cedar and balsamic notes dominate the nose, joined by precise plum and herbal nuances. The palate is plush and creamy, with polished, worked tannins. It delivers layered fruit and oak. A modern classic for the region, marrying power with poise. Drink Date 2025-2045. Rating 96/100. -Joaquin Hidalgo-

James Suckling:

A rich, deep and complex nose with plenty of wood spices, dark chocolate, fresh blackberries, violets and a touch of graphite. The highlight on the full-bodied palate is the quality and quantity of the tannins, which are massive but polished and dissolved. Really firm and long. Better from 2026, when the wood spices settle more. Rating 96/100. –JamesSuckling.com, Zekun Shuai– 

Bodegas Aalto:

In the glass, this wine presents a deep ruby colour. Black fruits with liquorice and spicy hints provide it with a great aromatic complexity. The persistence of this wine on the mouth is conferred by its structure and big volume showing the characteristics of the 2022 vintage.
