Tasting Note

The Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2019 is a refined expression of Ribera del Duero, showing remarkable balance and depth. On the nose, it opens with vibrant red and black fruit—raspberries, blackberries, and dark cherries—interwoven with notes of dried herbs, cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice from well-integrated oak. The palate is elegant yet powerful, with fine-grained tannins supporting layers of ripe fruit, graphite, balsamic nuances, and hints of cocoa. A lively acidity brings freshness, while the long, savoury finish carries notes of mineral and spice, reflecting both precision and harmony. This vintage is approachable in its youth but structured to age gracefully for decades.

On the palate, this full-bodied wine presents a smooth, velvety texture with a persistent finish. Highly prized by wine connoisseurs, Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° is a testament to the finesse and power of Spain's viticulture.
