About this vintage

Alión 2019 — An outstanding vintage with concentration and acidity in balance. A very complete, long profile.

Tasting note

A great vintage, and possibly the most complete Alión of the lot. Deep garnet-purple. A vibrant nose that combines concentrated black fruit with balsamic freshness —cassis, violet, graphite, spices— and perfectly set oak. On the palate it shines for its balance: dense yet fresh, polished tannins, nervy acidity and a persistent mineral finish. Power and precision at once; magnificent, with years ahead.

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.
