BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO VALBUENA 5° 2014
Ribera del Duero, Spain.
2014 is a spectacular vintage of Valbuena, and it reminds me of the 2010, perhaps a tad more elegant and less powerful. It's expressive and has floral notes on the nose along with wild berries, herbs and a spicy and smoky touch that's nicely integrated. It has good complexity and nuance, and the palate is medium to full-bodied and intense, with pungent flavors and great length and persistence. Truly spectacular! January 2019 Drink to 2030 WA 96
