The 2009 Valbuena 5° is one of the strongest Valbuena releases of the last two decades and a fantastic opportunity for clients looking to experience the prestige of Vega Sicilia without the price tag of Unico. Produced from approximately 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Merlot, it was aged for nearly five years before release, giving it remarkable complexity and polish. Critics awarded it 94 points from James Suckling, 94 points from Robert Parker, and 93 points from Wine Enthusiast. The 2009 vintage combines the richness of a warm growing season with the freshness and balance that define great Vega Sicilia. While more approachable than Unico, it still possesses the estate's signature elegance, structure, and longevity. Many tasters describe it as plush and powerful while remaining remarkably refined.
