A blend of Treixadura, Giselle & Loureiro. Expressive on the nose with yellow stone fruit, moist rocks & moss and a saline whiff. Surprisingly rich on the palate yet beautifully balanced by the juicy acidity and asking, mineral bite.
This has surprising depth & precision. An absolutely beautiful match with fish (pot roasted red gurnard)!! — 3 years ago

арбекю, танины, средняя кислотность из-за сахара, но на самом деле высокая. Нейтрализуют друг друга. Очень приятное. Сухофрукты. — 7 years ago

Dark violet, medium bodied with pretty aggressive tannins. Raspberries and cinnamon long finish. Probably could use more time. — 7 years ago

🏅 Rating 92+/100 (4,25⭐)

Tobacco leaf. Full of red and some black berries. Tanins are ripe, granular. Oaky. Midpalate fruit.

Powerful 100% Tempranilio. Alion is owned by Alvarez family. Just 12km away from Vega Sicilia, which belongs to the same family.

Top quality wine that can compete with Valbuena 5°, but made in a slightly more modern style.

That's not the first time I open this vintage of Alion. Now it feels more tight. Needs more bottle aging. I strongly recommend some aeration before serving this wine. Maybe leave it for a good couple of hours in wide decanter.

In short, surprised and underwhelmed. The nose is absolutely gorgeous: fresh blue berries and whipped cream. After that, resembles CA in the first few rounds of the Alvarez / GGG fight. Decent attack but weak mid palette. Tannins are spot on, however. If this were a bit more ripe and had more horsepower on this finish it would be far more interesting / enjoyable. — 7 years ago
