Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° Ribera del Duero DO 2018

Fünf Jahre Reifezeit verleihen dem Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° seinen Namen. Gut Ding will Weile haben: Eine sprichwörtliche Formulierung, die bei diesem herausragenden spanischen Rotwein auch im Jahrgang 2018 eine maßlose Untertreibung ist. Denn der vermeintlich kleine Vega Sicilia Unico ist immer wieder großes Kino und Zeugnis herausragender Weinbaukunst in der Ribera del Duero-Region.Der Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° 2018 vereint in seinem Bouquet Noten von frischen Waldbeeren (schwarze und blaue) und getrockneten Feigen mit einer herrlichen Würze. Noten von mediterranen Kräutern, Eichenholz, florale und pfeffrige Nuancen sowie ein Hauch von Vanille bereichern das Bouquet.Am Gaumen ist dieser trockene Spitzenrotwein aus Spanien „reif und mit einer milden Säure, die ihm ein weiches Mundgefühl verleiht. Ein sehr würziger Jahrgang für Valbuena, der sich dem Stil von Único nähert“, urteilt Luis Gutiérrez in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (96 Punkte für den Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° 2018). Die Komposition aus 96% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 4% Merlot ist laut Gutiérrez „mittel- bis vollmundig, mit sehr feinen Tanninen, die den Wein schön strukturieren und sehr elegant machen“.Auch der britische Weinkritiker Tim Atkin ist angetan und vergibt 97 Punkte. „Ein duftender, komplexer, wohlschmeckender Rotwein, der gerade erst in Gang kommt, mit mediterranen Kräuterdüften, feinen Tanninen und etwas unterschwelliger Griffigkeit und Mineralität.“
