Product Information: The finest Alion I have tasted from this project owned by the proprietors of Vega Sicilia, the 2001 is a sensational effort... Deep ruby,purple color is followed by a glorious, smoky nose of espresso, dried herbs, roasted meats, sweet black currants, new saddle leather, plums, and cherries. This provocative, rich, complex, full-bodied Ribera del Duero possesses wonderful glycerin, fabulous purity, and a long finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. It is an opulent, voluptuously-styled wine with great stature. Drink it over the next decade. 95 points - Robert Parker
