About this vintage

Alión 2015 — A warm, ripe year. Powerful wines with concentrated black fruit and a long finish.

Tasting note

An excellent, warm vintage that gives a dense, sunny Alión. Opaque purple-garnet. A powerful nose of ripe blackberry and blueberry, liquorice, roasted coffee and a mineral background; the modern oak ageing spot on. A full, fleshy, enveloping palate with ripe tannins and a long, spicy finish. Polished Ribera power; an Alión for hearty meats, already a real pleasure.

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.
