94 Robert Parker
The 2017 Alión, the only wine produced here, comes from a challenging year marked by spring frost and a warm and dry end of the season, so they reduced the amount of new oak by 8%. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, and 10% of the volume aged in concrete, completely unoaked. The change in the oak regimen helped with the style of the vintage, which was marked by the frost that hit part of the Alión vineyards. Furthermore, the end of the season was warm and dry, and they had to work to control ripeness and power and perhaps the possibility of more aggressive tannins. It's a classical Alión, with some developed aromas, juicy and round but not heavy, with just a tad of earthy rusticity. With time, it develops more balsamic notes and hints of licorice. 230,032 bottles, 7,04 magnums, 614 double magnums and a handful of bigger sizes were produced. It was bottled in June 2019.

Opaque ruby. Primary dark fruit, floral and vanilla aromas are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of cracked pepper and woodsmoke, and licorice notes build in the glass. Juicy and smooth on the palate, offering densely packed, spice-laced bitter cherry, blackberry and fruitcake flavors that firm up slowly with aeration. Shows superb depth as well as energy on the impressively long finish, which is firmed by youthfully gripping tannins.

Concentrated, with firm, polished tannins encasing the black cherry reduction, cassis and licorice notes woven together with balsamic, cocoa and spice details. Underpinnings of wild herb, loamy earth and hot stone follow on the structured finish. Drink now through 2033. 20,840 cases made, 216 cases imported. — GS

Bodegas Vega Sicilia
Der berühmteste Rotweinproduzent Spaniens, Vega Sicilia, bringt beständig die besten Verschnitte von Ribera del Duero hervor, sowohl was Stilistik wie Zugänglichkeit angeht. Das in Valbuena de Duero gelegene Weingut ist seit 1982 im Besitz der Familie Álvarez und nach wie vor das größte im Lande, mit 1000 Hektar Grund, davon 25% Rebfläche. Der Spitzenwein Unico ist ein delikater Verschnitt aus Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) und Cabernet Sauvignon. Der Unico profitiert von verlängerter Fassreife, die perfektioniert wurde, um eine großzügige Frische im fertigen Wein zu wahren. Daneben ist der exzeptionelle Reserva Especial ein jahrgangsloser Verschnitt aus einer Spitzenauswahl von hauptsächlich Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot, traditionell 10 Jahre gereift. Der Zweitwein aus dem bedeutendsten Weinberg von Ribera del Duero ist Valbuena, eine Cuvée aus Tinto Fino, Malbec und Merlot, die mehr Fruchtpräsenz aufweist.
