Made by famous Vega Sicilia estate. Deep Ruby with an array of aromas, dark fruits, spice, floral and some oak, aged for about 14 months in French oak, mostly new. On the palate flavors of juicy ripe blackberry currants, blueberry & plum with mocha, espresso and licorice wrapped in oak. Firm round taut tannins, great balance with acidity, full body, long finish ends with fruit, oak, spice, and mineral character. Almost starting to open, definitely needs more time! Will age a decade or more!!

Celebrating the opening of a great new restaurant by opening a great young Tempranillo. Alion always has class, like the Spanish equivalent of a second label Bordeaux. Firm but inviting tannins, brilliant red berry fruit, tobacco, savory and silky all at once, with a very long finish. Welcome to San Diego, Fort Oak!
