Description

Vega Sicilia Alion 2005 showcases a complex array of aromas, including dark fruit, menthol, and herbal undertones. This vintage presents a medium to full-bodied profile with a structured tannin framework. The palate reveals layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and subtle earthy notes, complemented by a hint of spice. Established in 1864, Vega Sicilia is renowned for its commitment to quality, with Alion being a standout in their portfolio, specifically crafted from Tempranillo. The wine’s maturation potential extends well into the next decade, making it intriguing for collectors.

Owned by Vega Sicilia.Black fruit compote; super-smooth and caressing, still delicate and subtle, yet somehow unputdownable. The fruit has a tremendous clarity and a soft bite to the tannin, still plenty of weight in the mid-palate and is probably just drawing the curtains on its drinking window. There is a slight indication of the leather and savoury spice to come.

Jancis Robinson 17/20

The 2005 Alion has a captivating perfume of smoke, pencil lead, violets, truffle, cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, firm, sweetly-fruited, layered, and splendidly balanced. It has several years of aging potential and will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2025.

This magnum has been stored in a friends cellar since purchase. However a house move warrants the sale. The level is into the neck and both front and back labels are in good condition.
