Vega Sicilia Valbuena Ribera Del Duero 2021 750ML - (Pre-arrival)

Jeb Dunnuck 98

"An exceptional wine from an exceptional vintage, the 2021 Valbuena 5 is 96% Tinto Fino and 4% Merlot, the vineyard separated into plots for this wine and for Unico. Seductive, layered, and freshly earthy, it offers impressive length and breadth, a fantastic, alive wine that should go another 20-30 years. Stainless-fermented, it’s meant to represent the year and the estate. Once made with a small amount of Malbec and Merlot, the Tinto Fino is blended only with Merlot now." - Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com

James Suckling 98

"One of the finest Valbuenas available, showcasing great depth, structure and detail while remaining polished. It exhibits notes of blackberries, cocoa powder, graphite, and high-quality sandalwood, with hints of lard and violets. The standout feature this year is the quantity and quality of the tannins—huge, yet incredibly refined and polished. There are plenty of fine grits that aren’t fully integrated but should harmonize in two to three years. Exceptionally long finish. Will hold effortlessly for the next 20 years."
