DESCRIPTION

Vega Sicilia Valbuena comes from the younger vines and it is mostly made with the varieties of Tempranillo and more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a garnet cherry red color with orangey undertones. There is an ethereal expression of its alcohol content and the accent of an excellent oxidative evolution, which is the fruit of oak that has been well tanned, a characteristic of Vega Sicilia red wines. Its personality is reminiscent of the varieties used, with a hint of ripe red fruit.

Expert Notes

Robert Parker: 92

The 2007 Valbuena is rounded and warmer than the 2006 with lush dark berry fruits interlaced with scents of espresso and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity with a composed, focused finish of black cherries, raspberry, cedar and mocha. The 2007 has great precision and focus. It is more feminine and assured than the 2006, but one senses that it is holding something back to charm consumers in five or six year's time. This is very impressive. Drink 2017-2030.
