About this vintage

Alión 2016 — A mild spring and a balanced summer. A very elegant, fruity Alión with fine tannins.

Tasting note

A more balanced year gives a finer, more vertical Alión than 2015. Deep, vivid purple. Aromas of fresh black fruit, violet, cocoa and elegant toast, with a graphite minerality that gives it class. On the palate it is precise and juicy, with fine-grained tannins and an acidity that stretches a savoury finish. Restrained muscle with elegance; it is entering its best moment.

Ageing

Around 14–16 months in new French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing before release.

Grapes

Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) 100%.

Food pairing

Sirloin, rib-eye, small game, lamb stews and semi-cured cheeses.

Serving

16–18 °C. Decant for at least 30–45 minutes.
