Description
Vega Sicilia, 'Valbuena No. 5' 2009
Ribera del Duero
In 2022, a wonderful, vibrant, black cherries nose, coming at you like a (very elegant!) train. So Ribera del Duero. Blackberries and liquorice 'en la boca', so full of glycerol and yet with a tremendously balanced tannic structure. Finally, there is a stunning aroma of heather that also permeates the taste. Qué maravilla! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
