Description
Assemblage des plus jeunes vignes de tempranillo et de Cabernet Sauvignon du Domaine, Valbuena est le second vin de Vega Sicilia.
Issu d’un millésime exceptionnel 2010, la robe est d’une teinte cerise légèrement évoluée. Nez de fruits noirs confiturés aux notes balsamiques. Les notes fumées et épicées sont typiques de cette cuvée. La bouche montre beaucoup de relief sans tomber dans l’opulence, les tanins sont bien intégrés pour une expression pure de la Ribera del Duero !
Noté 96/100 par le Wine Advocate !

Avis des Experts
The Wine Advocate
"Since the 2010 harvest, they ferment plot by plot, and it shows. This Valbuena has almost 100 components in it, smaller lots, all of them corresponding to a plot of vines. It has all the signs of being one of the best vintages ever for this second wine from Vega Sicilia, mostly Tempranillo but with 5% Merlot that matured five months in 20,000-liter oak vats, 18 months in new barriques (equal parts French and American oak), three months in used barrels and then five months in the vats again before being bottled in May 2013. 2010 seems to have the exuberance of the 2011 and the seriousness and elegance of 2009. It has the Burgundian philosophy of terroir, with all plots fermented and aged separately, giving each vineyard what it needs in terms of vinification and elevage resulting in something like 40 separate lots to blend. This wine has gained in precision and sharpness, and is very pure with delineated aromas and flavors. It is a world-class wine, possibly the best Valbuena ever. 180,000 bottles and some bigger-sized formats were filled. The wine will be released in 2015."
