Alión 2011
Description
Si Alión est le petit dernier de Vega Sicilia, il n’en gagne pas moins en qualité au fil des années, et est en train de devenir un incontournable dans le monde des grands vins rouges espagnols. Le millésime 2010 n’étant pas sorti sur le marché, ce millésime 2011 est particulièrement rare et convoité. Il se distingue par son élégance en bouche, sa finesse et son onctuosité.
Fiche technique
L'avis des experts
"The 2011 Alion is pure Tempranillo from vineyards averaging 25 to 30 years of age, harvested early (second half of September) matured for 16 months in new Nevers barrels (that’s a difference with Vega Sicilia; for Alion all wood is French). It is an exuberant, ripe Alion, with hedonist’s aromas that jump out of the glass. Winemaker Javier Ausas tells me he likes the wines when they are young and showy like this one. It is indeed a showy vintage, with aromas of violets, molasses, cereals and a whiff of malt whisky. We tasted the wine a little warm, but that does not benefit the wine, which should be served at 15-16 C and allowed to warm up and open up in the glass. It’s also quite smoky, with reminiscences of very good barrels, black aromas, violets, black olives and fresh plums. The palate is tannic with lactic and warm flavors. This is a very exuberant, showy vintage for Alion, and here I tend to agree with Ausas: even though this has plenty of stuffing to age I’d drink it young in its exuberant phase. 290,000 bottles produced. Drink now-2019".

Redondo. Es mejor ee lo que esperaba.
Espectáculo, para tomar ya o para guardar unos añitos si eres capaz.
Para mí, mejor que su hermano mayor, delicia de la primera hasta la ultima gota.
