The 2019 Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° from Ribera del Duero is a masterful expression of Spain’s most prestigious winery. This Tempranillo-dominant blend, aged for five years, offers remarkable depth and balance.
On the nose, it reveals ripe dark berries, cedar, tobacco, and spice, while the palate is rich yet refined, with velvety tannins and a long, complex finish. Elegant now, it will continue to evolve beautifully for decades.

Reviews
The obsession in 2019 was to avoid excess ripeness and to keep the freshness, so they did a softer vinification, used larger vats for the élevage and used less American wood. The 2019 Valbuena was produced with a blend of Tinto Fino with 3% Merlot. It has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.88 and 4.6 grams of acidity. I love the nose; it is perfumed and subtle. And the wine is beautifully textured; the tannins are very fine, silky even, quite different from the tannins from the other 2019s from the group that I tasted next to this, Macán and Pintia. A triumph over the conditions of the year, it’s a more elegant Valbuena than I anticipated. 190,490 bottles, 5,581 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2022. 95 points Luis Gutierrez RobertParker.com
