Notas de "The Wine Advocate"

The 2019 Alión was cropped from a drier vintage compared with the average, and the wines from that year tend to be powerful, concentrated and with structure. They shortened the maceration by 11 days and used concrete for part of the élevage, trying to reduce the impact from the oak in the wine. They define 2019 as a powerful, concentrated and juicy vintage, sensual and unctuous. The wine is ripe at 15% alcohol and has mellow acidity (4.4 grams) and a pH of 3.88, reflecting the warm and dry year that delivered powerful and concentrated wines, similar to the wines from 2015. It's quite fruit-driven, ripe and juicy, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins despite the limited pumping over they did to avoid extracting too much, and the maceration was also shortened. 256,526 bottles, 7,005 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2021.

Notas de Cata de Peñín sobre la añada 2011: Color cereza muy intenso. Aroma fruta madura, especiado, roble cremoso, tostado, con carácter. Boca potente, sabroso, tostado, taninos maduros.

"Fruta negra fresca (moras, ciruelas damascenas) en nariz, con muchas notas ahumadas. Tánico, denso pero no muy frutal en boca."
