“Vega Sicilia Unico’s younger brother, Valbuena is bottled after 5 years of aging. Sophisticated and elegant, the wine is characterised by notes of ripe fruits and spices.”

Oaky notes: Oak, tobacco, vanilla
Black fruit notes: Plum, blackberry, blackcurrant
Earthy notes: Leather, earthy, smoke
This is the first Valbuena vintage of which winemaker Gonzalo Iturriaga de Juan had full control and his consummate skill is ever more clear, especially in the quality of the tannins that melt effortlessly in the mouth. The mature vines here did well in the hot, dry conditions of 2015, all factors conspiring to make this a truly exceptional Valbuena; in my opinion, this is the best vintage to date. Drink 2024-2044.
