  Rather unspectacular. Usually Alion comes with more volume and richness. Probably going homeward.

  At a good place now with drying tannins. Medium weight, really good acidity that brings out the riper fruits. Leather and tobacco.

  Still young. Very Spanish nose of earth, black fruit, mildew. Quite tannic, we decanted it fro 45 minutes which improved it. Would revisit in five years.

  Splash decanted immediately prior to drinking. Darker red fruit with a hint of vanilla oak gloss still. This is nicely resolved, quite full and plush but nicely integrated and the 14.5 abv isn’t an issue. Far better balance than I was expecting, this is really quite attractive. ****
