Critics Ratings

'The good news is that the 2003 Alion is even better than the 2002. It has a similar personality but with more depth and concentration as well as structure. The ripe tannins suggest much more will be revealed with another 6-8 years in the bottle. It will drink well for 15+ years thereafter.' - Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, 96+/100 (Feb 2007)

'Mid crimson and relatively light aromas with just a hint of greenness. A hint of oak on the nose still. Certainly no shortage of acidity and nice balance. Lots of tannins and a light chew on the finish. Impressive length.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Aug 2007)
