Sipping Fine Wine

9.5

A nice wine!! A blend of mostly Tinta del País/Tempranillo (from old vineyards), with a splash of Garnacha and other grapes, including whites. Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe fresh fruits, herb and complex spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with vanilla oak and cacao. Good balance, fine elegant tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Very nice! — a day ago

Not as pop and pour ready as I remember but good vintage that would benefit from proper cellaring and aging. — a month ago

No idea how old this is. A special Tondonia bottling to support a polio vaccination campaign. Beautiful wine. Does anybody know more about this? — 10 days ago

Fantastic Spaniard, tastes a lot more youthful than it is - still bright and fruity but not sparkly and no earth — a month ago

Quite light lemon yellow , very persistent , fine bubbles . Quite taut and strict on the nose , chalk dust , white flowers , honey suckle and elderflower , lemon peel , touch oyster shell and a touch of fresh baked bread . On the palate really good volume and density , lively acidity . Lots of citrus with good mineral , oyster shell notes . Long and mineral , saline, tinged finish , hint of toasty brioche on the end . This is really quite young and shows tighter and more mineral than the first bottle we had . Would leave this a few years and will have a long life , better in 10 -15 years and last well a further 10 or so . Great potential — 17 hours ago

Tasting great. Probably even better in 5 years. Good fruit, some earth and wood. Herbs galore, black pepper, tarragon, maybe a hint of lavender. Love this. — 4 days ago

Although not as prestigious as Unico, this Valbuena 5 was an absolute delight! Rich and balanced, it paired perfectly with fowl (pigeon). — 25 days ago
