Valbuena 5 1997 Vega Sicilia

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

The dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 Valbuena reveals a deep, sweet nose of black fruits intermixed with earth, leather, smoke, and fruit cake. There is sensational texture on the palate, seamlessly integrated tannin and acidity, and moderate quantities of oak. While young, it is already showing exceptionally well.

Winespectator (97)

This generous red offers blackberry and cooked cherry flavors on a lush frame, with just enough tannin for grip, and crisp acidity. It's still fresh and lively. This was the better of two samples.
