Valbuena 2001 Vega Sicilia

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The Valbuena offering is a brilliant introduction to the winery. The 2001 is especially good because all of the wine normally reserved for Unico went into this bottling. It has a similar personality to the 2002 but with more of everything as if it has been on an extended workout regimen. Youthful in appearance and with classic aromatics, it has the extract and the structure to blossom for 6-8 years and drink well for another 20.

Winespectator (88)

This lively red offers tart cherry and berry flavors, softened by notes of vanilla and spice and supported by firm, light tannins. Supple and harmonious.
