Lot #796. Bodegas y Viñedos Alion 2001

Description: Consists of 8 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 ST.
"Bright ruby-red. Musky aromas of currant, roasted herbs, Cuban tobacco, black olive and black pepper. Lush and supple but firmly built, with wonderfully velvety, multilayered flavors of outstanding depth. This combines the solid structure of a top Bordeaux with the sheer sweetness of fruit possible in Spain. As rich as this is, there's no impression of excess weight. The finish features very fine-grained tannins and outstanding palate-saturating persistence. Clearly the finest vintage to date for this wine." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 05
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $400
