Alion 2009 Ribera del Duero Castilla y Leon 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Luis Gutierrez: The 2009 Alion, pure Tempranillo aged in French
oak, has had the benefit of a couple more years in bottle than the
2011 and shows more nuances, more restraint and a more serious
aroma profile. It's also a ripe year, with notes of plums and shy
violets, the oak well-integrated into the wine. The palate is
full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a velvety,
juicy texture, with good extraction and stuffing: I think this will
be longer lived than the 2011. They have different styles – this is
classier, and 2011 is more exuberant – but they are both at a
similar quality level. 320,000 bottles produced.
