Lot 260 Details
BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO VALBUENA 5° 2015 (OWC)

Ribera del Duero, Spain.

The 2015 Valbuena, a red blend of mostly Tempranillo with some 5% Merlot, is released in the fifth year after the harvest. It's explosive and showy, with a complex nose that shows a mixture of flowers and wild herbs, balsamic touches and great nuance. This wine has gained in complexity since the 2010 vintage, where they implemented some changes that increased the expressivity and precision of this wine. The tannins are fine-grained and there is very good balance, and the warm conditions of the year have been absorbed well by the wine. Despite the natural conditions of the year, the wine follows the path of freshness of the 2010. 173,673 bottles, 5,625 magnums and some larger formats produced. December 2019 Drink to 2029 WA 96

6 bts.    per lot $1,100 - $1,300
