Produced by Vega Sicilia’s owners, Alion’s 2000 Ribera del Duero is a beautifully rich offering that was aged 13 months in French oak prior to bottling. A gorgeous perfume of espresso roast, smoked herbs, roasted meat, and black currant liqueur is followed by rich, full-bodied flavors, a velvety texture, and a long, luscious finish.
This alluring red offers blackberry, boysenberry, coffee and spice flavors, expressive yet refreshing on the palate. Not a powerhouse, but complex and refined.
