Description
In a nutshell:
A fleshy, complex and intense Spanish red which is a beautiful example of one of Ribera del Duero's foremost wines.
The lowdown:
One of the classics of Ribera del Duero, Alion is the sister estate of the world famous Vega Sicilia. Here the wines are made in a more modern style than Vega Sicilia, typically displaying rich, generous fruit and lashings of spice thanks to 12 months spent in 80% new, mainly, French oak barrels. It has a particular richness about it that follows on from the spicy and slightly smoky aromas. The palate is full of ripe fruit and spiciness which is held together with mellow tannins, a firm minerality and well judged acidity.
When to drink:
It'll mature nicely over the next few years to make a very rewarding wine.
