While sharing chateaubriand with Mrs A at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise AB we asked the hotel owner to pick the pairing wine. He selected a 2014 Aalto Ribera del Tempranillo to our pleasant surprise. The following are my tasting and consuming notes. The intoxicating rainbow aromas of licorice, black fruits, coffee and leather reflect the alternating layers of lime stone, marl, chalk under the silt and clay topsoil of this stellar appellation. The weather extremes of hot days, cool nights only adds to its exceptional phenolic presentation. Aged for 18 months in oak it displays bright acidity, fine grained tannins finishing with an integration of spices, herbs, woody tones and traces of vanilla. Medium-bodied, balanced, complex layering and long legs this wine proved to be the perfect pairing. Kudos to George Schwarz for this selection. Cheers 🍷 — 7 years ago

This blend of three is arguably one of the best available at an entry level commercial price. It is a vibrant red drop with a light salty toffee bouquet. It has a medium body with a slight peppery spice that sits in the middle of the palette. It isn't as bodied as a full Shiraz but carries the strength reminiscent of one. It's a lovely drinking wine that would easily be gulped down. It would go well as an end of the day glass or accompanying a pasta or chicken main. — 11 years ago

Wenn man eingeladen ist und diesen wein bekommt - schon mal darauf vorbereiten, das Auto stehenzulassen. Schwarz, sehr schwarz - so dunkel ist das rubinrot.
Frühzeitiges öffnen ein muss, damit der Charakter (kraftvoll) durchkommt. — 10 years ago
