This is not my style but quite the blockbuster wine. Chewy, dense, still tight & lord knows we could have waited...red fruited, what gorgeous fruit & integrated tannins, surprisingly. Drank at sunset, outside, on a gorgeous Sunday evening.

Outstanding, great trempanillo with 5 to 10 pct merlot. Smokey, forward fruit, very well integrated oak. Would be a number 1 wine for most not for Vega. Truly great.

Shockingly easy to enjoy now, this is quite a different experience than I was expecting. Though somewhat divergent from its typically firmer structure, it was great because we had it with a meal and could enjoy it immediately. The color has a deep purple-red core, with vibrant ruby edges. The nose was youthful with a medium+ intensity , showing dark red and black fruits, mocha and coffee bean. The flavors came in waves on the palate, layering with elegance and consistency to a long, fruit, oak and subtle spice finish. Not what I expected, but very enjoyable and priced much better here in Spain. @ Asador Extebarri #valbuena #vegasicilia #riberadelduero

Spicy and weighty. Lovely dark color and quite rich. Some forest on the back end. Rich fruit. This was definitely drinking well.

2010 fest. This may very well be one of the best Valbuena’s I’ve ever had. And there have been several…Everything was on point from start to finish and definitely NOT one of those “needy old world wines…” a simple pop n pour “conversation time” kinda wine… doesn’t disappoint. Big bold and beautiful, composed, tons of character. Really impressive wine. Took the night, amongst great wines.
