Alion Ribera del Duero Tinto Fino 2020

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.

This is a delicious Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.

Starting to drink beautifully now, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.

This 5 year old Tempranillo is already complex, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Tempranillo grapes, from 40 year old vines, were aged for 14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Deep Ruby, slight purple edges, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak, 100% Tempranillo, aged in American oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with licorice, cacao, vanilla and toasty oak tones. Full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice! — a month ago
