Valbuena 1998 Vega Sicilia

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 1998 Valbuena is better than the 1987 Unico, and probably as good as the 1989 Unico, at least over the next decade. Extremely full-bodied, it offers up notes of smoke, graphite, toasty oak, caramel, black cherry liqueur, and cassis. Opulent and sumptuous, it is both a hedonistic and intellectual turn-on.

Winespectator (90)

Lovely focus and balance. Crisp, juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors are backed by toasty oak and lively acidity. Firm, well-integrated tannins.
