Are you going to experience one of Ribera del Duero's greatest wines from arguably Spain's most famous winery? Bodegas Alión is owned by Vega Sicilia and delivers some of the finest Tempranillo in the world. The wine is also created on some extremely low-yielding vines, which contribute to the incredible flavor intensity and aging potential of the top wine.

Vega Sicilia Alión 2011 has matured for approximately 12–14 months in oak barrels, primarily new French barriques, which give delicious barrel-spiced notes of vanilla, chocolate and cigar box.

2011 was a year marked by a long, warm growing season in Ribera del Duero, which produced wines with concentration and ripe fruit, without losing balance. Alión in this vintage is known for its fullness, ripe tannins and intense dark berries, accompanied by subtle spiciness from the barrel. Long aging potential is a hallmark, and 2011 shows great pace both in its youth and with further maturation.

"95 points. Lots of chocolate and berry with some coffee-bean and vanilla undertones. It's full and layered with plenty of fruit, round tannins and pleasing complexity of smoked and toasted wood. Tar undertone. Very drinkable now, but better after 2022." - James Suckling

"94 points. It's a classical Alión, with some developed aromas, juicy and round but not heavy, with just a tad of earthy rusticity. With time, it develops more balsamic notes and hints of licorice." - Robert Parker
