That wine is mostly from a clone of the Tempranillo grape called "Tinto Fino". That is where you get that huge flavor. I personally love the big flavors that Spanish Tempranillos give. Though the '99 vintage was the first wine ever produced by Aalto their winemaker Mariano García is world renowned. There were about 1200 cases produced by I can not for the life of me find the '99 vintage anymore :-( I'd love to try the '04 or '05s that I can get. I'll let you know what I think of them.

Sadly, the cork didn't age well. The wine was slightly corked, and the cork itself fell apart so we had to strain the pour. All in all however, it was fantastic!
