quotBodegas Alion was started by the renowned estate of Vega Sicilia in 1991. Grapes are sourced from vineyards next to the winery and from Vega Sicilia39s own vineyards at Valbuena. Eighteen hectares of Tinto Fino Tempranillo form the actual Alion estate. The 2004 Alion is inky purple colored with an alluring perfume of toasty oak, lavender, violets, mineral, blackberry, and blueberry compote. This is followed by a full bodied, rich, opulent, wine with incipient complexity, and notes of licorice, mocha, and espresso emerging on the palate. The lengthy finish is pure and persistent. Give it 3 5 years in the cellar and drink it through 2025.quot Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate, 96 points
