Vega Sicilia, 'Valbuena No. 5' 2007 

Ribera del Duero

There is no Merlot in the blend this year. In 2018, a note of tobacco on the nose, with the black fruit. Lots of orange flavours on the palate, fresh (it was a cooler year), with appetite-inducing stimulus to the tastebuds. There is a touch of milk chocolate at the end which is very attractive. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
