VegaSiciliaValbuena5°,RiberadelDuero2021EnPrimeur–Caseof3

The 5° refers to a five-year ageing process, from small oak casks, to larger older vats, stainless steel tanks, and then bottle before release. This has maturity but represents the most youthful expression of Vega Sicilia, and the 2021 is a superb edition. Lightly spicy cedar notes support a glorious, perfumed nose of rich dark fruits, this is wonderfully pure in its expression and texture. 96% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), 4% Merlot.
