Vega Sicilia, 'Valbuena No. 5' 2010  

Ribera del Duero 

1 nicked and partially torn label 

The year of the new winery here, with more precision in working the vineyard parcels.  90% Tempranillo, 10% Merlot. This was an easy vintage, much acclaimed from the start.  In 2018, a great Tempranillo, scented/smoky, bilberries nose that comes out to greet you.  On the palate, a beautiful, silky texture, with glorious ripe fruit. This is a big wine, but the freshness covers the alcohol. Luscious and opulent, with a lift at the end.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW
