This wine is has evolved nicely so far. It still has some pretty serious acid which almost seems to be a bit much. If you are having it with food make sure its rich of fatty. I think it will benefit from some more cellar time. Its got nice spiciness, earthiness and a fair amount of fruit. Not My favorite vintage of Alion, but still a very solid wine.

PI. Rubi escuro, com bastante sedimentos mas brilhante. Nariz fresco, lembrando esmalte, aceto balsâmico, cereja, morangos, com um floral sutil. Ao contrário da Jancis, não notei nada que remetesse a aromas animais. Fruta limpa e fresca, alta acidez, pimenta branca, taninos numerosos e finos. Apesar de não ser dos mais elegantes, tem a personalidade dos Vega Sicilia. Estilo bastante diferente do 2003, tomado no dia anterior. Este aqui tem menos opulência e muito mais tipicidade. Um Alión em grande estilo, que não fez feio mesmo tendo sido servido após um Valbuena 96. [i]Excepcional[/i]. (92 pts.)
