To leave no room for doubt, this is the finest Alión to date, taking in to account the exceptional quality of the vintage. A fascinating nose, fruity and fresh, wild, with hints of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry, complemented by other smoked and toasted sensations from the wood-barrel ageing process. On the palate the wine expresses potency, elegance, substance and harmony, with an important structure. The fruit, the essence of the raw product, prevails over the secondary nuances derived from the barrel, enriching it with subtlety. Noble and compact.
100% tinta fina from vines that date between 25 and 30 years old. 15 months in new Nevers barrels. 267,900 Bordeaux bottles, 4,010 magnums, 415 double magnums and 55 imperials.
