MAGNUM Alion 2019 Bodegas Vega Sicilia, Ribera Del Duero 150cl

Alión er en af de vigtigste og mest efterspurgte vine fra Ribera del Duero. Denne vin er lavet af huset Bodegas Alión, en vingård med samme ejer som Bodegas Vega Sicilia, som af mange regnes for Spaniens bedste vingård.
Alion fremstilles 100% på den lokale Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) dyrket fra vinstokke, der er mellem 25 og 35 år gamle. Med hensyn til produktionen undergår det en aldring i nye franske egetræsfade i 14 måneder, og endelig forbliver den i flasken i 18-20 måneder, før den frigives på markedet. Takket være denne proces får u en fantastisk kompleks og solid vin med maksimal ekspression.

Dekantér gerne vinen i stor vinkaraffel inden servering.

Parker: The 2019 Alión was cropped from a drier vintage compared with the average, and the wines from that year tend to be powerful, concentrated and with structure. They shortened the maceration by 11 days and used concrete for part of the élevage, trying to reduce the impact from the oak in the wine. They define 2019 as a powerful, concentrated and juicy vintage, sensual and unctuous. The wine is ripe at 15% alcohol and has mellow acidity (4.4 grams) and a pH of 3.88, reflecting the warm and dry year that delivered powerful and concentrated wines, similar to the wines from 2015. It's quite fruit-driven, ripe and juicy, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins despite the limited pumping over they did to avoid extracting too much, and the maceration was also shortened. 256,526 bottles, 7,005 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2021. 94/100
