The 2007 Alion has a vibrant nose of dark cherries, violets, wild strawberry and a touch of leather that springs from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins. This Alion is jam-packed full of juicy blackberry, spice, leather and bay leaf that all vie for attention, while the finish is poised and long in the mouth. The 2007 certainly has the substance to age with style.
Smoky and gamy notes dominate this firm red, with coffee and licorice giving way to cherry and leafy flavors. There's good density, but this is on the austere, rustic side.
