{"product_id":"2015-vega-sicilia-alion","title":"Vega Sicilia Ribera del Duero \"Alion\" 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduced with 100% Tinto Fino or Tempranillo grapes in a modern and fruit-forward style with generous oak, the 2015 Alión is juicy and intense, cropped from a warm and dry year that delivered a 15% alcohol red that is voluptuous and hedonistic. It matured for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels, mostly French and mostly new. At first I found it quite ripe, with black rather than red fruit, a little earthy and with a touch of licorice and ink. The palate reveals abundant, slightly dusty tannins without the quality they had in 2014; it's a little dry on the finish, a riper and more powerful vintage of Alión. The nose improved tremendously with time in the glass as it opened up, but the tannins remained quite present. It might need a little more time in bottle to polish those edges. 230,730 bottles and some larger formats where produced. It was bottled in June 2017.  Wine Advocate 93+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037467365615,"sku":"5807","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/alion_b8279d02-d9c7-4a52-8d41-ad3594ad7e5f.jpg?v=1731312953","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2015-vega-sicilia-alion","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
