Its colour is concentrated and dark with a luminous, seductive edge, typical of its youth and wood seasoning. The aroma is unveiled with an intensity unusual in the wines from the Ribera del Duero. It appears with hints of ripe berry fruit & oak before developing on the palate into a luscious blend of sweetened tannins from the concentrated black fruits combined with the dry creamy tannins of the French oak. It is full flavoured, strong, fleshy and unfolds a truly suggestive range of tastes. www.bodegasalion.com 100% Tempranillo Due to its concentrated character and its magnificent structure it combines very well with sirloins and other cuts of grilled beef, roast lamb, pulse stews, It also combines well with cold cream soups, rice dishes, cod, Dublin Bay prawn and game dishes. |
