"The expression of the majestic youth and splendor of Bodegas Vega Sicilia. Valbuena 5º 2020 is a strictly dry red wine made from a blend dominated by Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), subtly complemented by Merlot. Its name comes from the five years it spends aging in wooden vats and French and American oak barrels, followed by bottle aging before release. It unfolds a seductive aromatic range of ripe red and black fruit, fine toasted notes, sweet spices, hints of mint, and delicate oak, culminating in a silky, powerful, balanced palate with unrivaled persistence."
