Alion, Ribera del Duero 2021 En Primeur - Case of 6
SPAIN
Like Rioja, Ribera del Duero enjoyed a cooler than normal growing season after a cool start that saw some late winter snow and only a little frost.
This is a beautiful release that offers an admirable degree of subtlety, offering up a wonderfully juicy mouthful, fine chalky tannins and well-developed dark fruits laced with violets. Powerful of course, but this also shows great freshness and elegance, and it will age very well over the coming 15 -20 years. 96/100

About En Primeur
Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines
Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
