Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5e année 2021 Magnum
Description
Valbuena 5º est l'expression la plus pure du vin rouge de Vega Sicilia. Son élevage en fût et en bouteille dure cinq ans, ce qui donne son nom au vin et lui confère une grande longueur en bouche et une richesse aromatique. Il représente la gamme la plus moderne du domaine ribereño, avec un style différent de celui d'Unico, l'autre grande référence de la maison. « C'estl'un des meilleurs millésimes récents de Valbuena et, d'une certaine manière, il m'a rappelé celui de 2010, avec son élégance et sa précision », a souligné Luis Gutiérrez dans sa critique pour The Wine Advocate. Ici , en format 1,5 litre.

L'avis des experts
One of the finest Valbuenas available, showcasing great depth, structure and detail while remaining polished. It exhibits notes of blackberries, cocoa powder, graphite, and high-quality sandalwood, with hints of lard and violets. The standout feature this year is the quantity and quality of the tannins—huge, yet incredibly refined and polished. There are plenty of fine grits that aren’t fully integrated but should harmonize in two to three years. Exceptionally long finish. Will hold effortlessly for the next 20 years. 176,000 bottles produced. (Zekun Shuai)
The 2021 Valbuena comes from a year with pristine grapes, good ripeness and balance, for them one of their finest years when they didn't have to rush and everything happened in a smooth way. The year was marked by the snowstorm Filomena in January, which provided good water reserves, and the rest of the winter had temperatures reaching -15 degrees Celsius! This was a blend of 96% Tinto Fino (a.k.a. Tempranillo) and 4% Merlot aged in barrels and 8,500- and 21,000-liter oak vats during the first year and later only in oak vats. This is the youngest expression of the "Vega" nose, subtler and elegant, more insinuating, less developed and keeping some primary notes, not as tertiary as the Únicos. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.85 and 4.65 grams of acidity, and it has a medium- to full-bodied palate, with elegant tannins and very good balance. This is one of the finest recent vintages for Valbuena, and in a way, it reminded me of the 2010, with elegance and precision. A total of 176,876 bottles, 5,566 magnums and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled in May 2024. (Luis Gutiérrez)
It's not a surprise that the 2021 Valbuena is so distinguished, given the quality of the 2021 vintage in Ribera del Duero. Blending Tempranillo and 4% Merlot from the extensive Vega Sicilia estate, this is a younger-vine cuvée from ten to 20-year-old parcels. Curated in 75% new French and 25% American oak, followed by extra time in foudres, it has the structure, focus and intensity of an outstanding year, with subtle aromas of toast, vanilla and graphite, layers of liquorice, plum and blackberry and succulent, fine-grained tannins. Deceptively approachable, this is a wine to cellar and savour. 2029-40.
En 1864, Eloy Lecanda a fondé le domaine qui symbolise la légende du vin rouge espagnol. Il a appartenu à divers propriétaires, mais a toujours conservé une personnalité incontestable.

El embalaje de regalo es de risa… Una caja de cartón que pone “Bodeboca”. Regalar un Vega Sicilia de ese modo, pierde toda la clase.
el mejor aunque precio excesivo
¡Excelso!. Mi tinto soñado.
