Professional scores

"The 2005 Alion has a captivating perfume of smoke, pencil lead, violets, truffle, cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, firm, sweetly-fruited, layered, and splendidly balanced. It has several years of aging potential and will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2025." 94/100, Jay Miller, Wine Advocate (June 2009)

Press reviews

"Bodegas Alion is owned by the legendary Vega Sicilia; the 2005 offers great complexity with layers of black fruit and a hint of liquorice. Full-bodied structure with some silky tannins; this wine is still very compact but will soften up with time. A must-have in your cellar." Decanter.com, Ten Best Wines from Berry Bros., (June 09)
