2020 | Vega Sicilia Tinto Valbuena 5 | Ribera del Duero La grange de l'oncle Charles Tasted two timesValbuena 5 used to be the baby Unico, and nowadays it is more like its younger brother with a lot of resemblance and just a bit less depth and tannins. Valbuena 5 comes from younger vines and sometimes different parcels from Unico. On the palate, this is more open and linear, while Unico is more profound and vertical. Notes of iron, blackberries, cedar, minerals and cocoa powder. Medium to full bodied with melted tannins and a long, long finish.
