Alión 2012 Magnum

This dry red wine from D.O. Ribera del Duero is a single-varietal Tempranillo crafted by the Alión winery. It features aromas of red cherry and raspberry with subtle hints of dark chocolate, offering a firm structure and round tannins on the palate.

Key facts

  • Grape variety: Tempranillo
  • D.O. / Region: D.O. Ribera del Duero
  • Winery: Alión
  • Soil / Altitude: Complementary soils, 750 m altitude
  • Ageing / Cellaring potential: 14 months in French oak

The vineyard

The grapes are sourced from vineyards with an average age of 30 years, located at an altitude of 750 meters above sea level. These plots are situated on complementary soils that bring depth and a distinct regional character to the Tempranillo grape.

Ideal combination

Winemaking

The harvest is carried out manually in small boxes to preserve the fruit's integrity, followed by a rigorous selection process. The wine then undergoes aging for 14 months in new French oak barrels before bottling.

Love this Ribera! Power and elegance combined: Blackberries, dark cherries, black currant, graphite, earth, dark chocolate, espresso, medium to full body, superb long finish! 94

Ribera del Duero is especially good when aged, Alion by Vega Sicilia is the perfect confirmation of this! Ruby black in color, soft aroma with notes of ripe cherries, cedar heartwood, violets, vanilla and leather. Mild on the taste, medium body, velvety tannins, medium acidity. Concentrated black berries, blueberry pie, smoked steak, blackberry jam, plum and milk chocolate, burnt oak. Round and slightly bitter aftertaste with notes of black dried plum and mulberry.

Happy Tempranillo Tuesday! Did a mini-vertical 2011/2012 during a dinner with friends at home last Friday. Alion is such a nice wine from Vega Sicilia! 100% Tempranillo. Beautiful nose and taste of blackberry, plum, vanilla, tobacco, leather and dark chocolate. No earthy notes. Medium-full bodied, strong tannins that integrated more during dinner, dry and medium+ acidity. Long spicy finish. Fantastic wine! But it was way younger than expected. I should have decanted it more or even maybe kept it in the cellar! 🤣

A tremendous Zoom today with new faces and some long lost ones as well. 29 folks representing 7 countries, in comments. Theme today was "Splendid Spanish". My choice - from the Vega Sicilia family, they established the Alion estate in 1991 in the western Ribera del Duero. This 2012 is 100% Tempranillo, with grapes half from the Alion estate and half from Vega Sicilia. This was tasty despite my dusty hangover. 😉 Notes of black and red berries, animal hide, coffee, licorice and tobacco. Yum! 👍 🍷

Still catching up with the wines from last weekend. Opening up a classic from RDD, a nearly 10 year old version of Alion. A full bodied wine, with nice acidity, dark fruit, floral notes, leather and spices. 4.3⭐️

Wine gods smiling on me in Bilbao as chose this for work dinner, priced incredibly competitively at top venue. Alion (backed by the same family behind Vega Sicilia) always a fave of mine. 1Y in oak and 2Y in bottle pre-release. 100% Tempranillo. The 12 vintage is still young and it benefited from a decant and time to show fully. Blueberry moved to cranberry to raspberry. Cinnamon toast and a hint of menthol in background. Firm tannins. Med+ acidity. Long length. Great pair esp with lamb main.

A classic Ribera and such a rewarding experience: Complex nose of black fruit (blackberry) and some cherry - mostly with clear tobacco and chocolate. The palate follows with same (Chocolate!) + complex array of spices such as pepper, licorice, and more. Palate is dominated by chocolate, oak, vanilla, coffee. A great wine opened at its peak!

Black cherries, plums, licorice, sweet spices and tobacco. Full bodied with the sweet fruit balancing with the tannins. The long spicy aftertaste lingers long.

From Rioja we continued with Spain at Ribera del Duero. Alion is a favorite of our host, so I took this 2012. Leather, plum herbs and very smooth

Theme: oaked vs unoaked (same grape) This was my contribution. The wine sees 💯 new French barríque for 12 to 24 months. Aerated for 2 hours. Delicious, bold and beautiful. Ripe dark fruits, grippy tannins, cedar, smoke and LOTS OF SPICE, especially CLOVES.

Delicious little sibling of Unico. Still quite young and another 5-10 years laid down I expect this will open up and tannins become more velvety. Oak, smoke evident along with black fruits lead by blackberry.

Cassis, blackcurrant in the nose, a hint of leathery scent, Woody tannins still rather dominant. This wine can last for another 5-10 yrs. So powerful.

Great ribera! Had it with St Agur blue cheese and green Sicillian olives. It has a roundness to it that has emerged with age. Some cigar box, cherry, blueberries and earthy notes. Will save the other bottle for a few more years and see how it developes.

Deep Purple red, with a strong rim. Powerful bouquet of cherry, blackberry and liquorice. Some star anise, and cedar, but also with a light note of violet. Grippy in the mouth. But not overpowering. Delicious and a long moreish finish. Great wine.

A wine I usually love!! This bottle came across extremely complex, pieces were there but not harmonious together, also missed the old world character...to retry soon.
