Marqués de Toro Finca La Moura Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
A very fun wine! Step out of the box and do not think anything like "a California Cab".
This single vineyard Cabernet from Spain is smooth, presents a long finish, showcasing herbs and acidity more than fruit. James Suckling rated this at 91. Grapes from 40-60
Year old Vines, dark fruits on fore palate, medicinal, mushrooms, potpourri, herbs on midpalate following through the finish. I pick up a lot of milk chocolate on the nose but does not transcend to palate. — 3 years ago

Blend of Verdejo (80%) and Godello (20%). Bright yellow color. Aromas of orchard fruit, white flowers, smoke and a bit of green pepper. Flavors of green apple, lemon and a bright mineral backbone. Nice hint of saline on the long and crisp finish. Bright and plush. Good mouthfeel and nicely balanced. Reasonable. — 7 months ago

Bodegas y Viñedos Alion
Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2005
🏅 Rating 92+/100 (4,25⭐)
Tobacco leaf. Full of red and some black berries. Tanins are ripe, granular. Oaky. Midpalate fruit.
Powerful 100% Tempranilio. Alion is owned by Alvarez family. Just 12km away from Vega Sicilia, which belongs to the same family.
Top quality wine that can compete with Valbuena 5°, but made in a slightly more modern style.
That's not the first time I open this vintage of Alion. Now it feels more tight. Needs more bottle aging. I strongly recommend some aeration before serving this wine. Maybe leave it for a good couple of hours in wide decanter.

Holy sh.! Fell in love with this one. Baked apple and bakery notes, well handled oak, there is work on the lees. Creamy texture, sincere palate and amazing acidity. Would love to try in 10 years. A great discovery — 3 months ago
