FINE+RARE, Jan 2023
Alión is the neighbouring estate to Vega Sicilia. These vineyards are planted entirely to Tinto Fino (the native strain of Tempranillo). This wine has found an extra level of precision from the 2018 vintage onwards, thanks in no small part to the extensive renovations at the winery.

Ripe, tarry plums and black cherries with violets, rocks, coffee and graphite. Refined notes of balsamic fruit and cocoa powder, too. Full-bodied and juicy with an iron fist of tannins, yet at the same time so velvety and polished. Very long, focused finish, showing lots of finesse and layers. Drinkable now, but better after 2025.
