Vega Sicilia Valbuena 2016
Ribera del Duero - Bodegas Vega Sicilia
96/100 Parker & 95/100 James Suckling
Drinking from 2021 to 2030
By Luis Gutiérrez in 2020: "The Valbuena 2016 was produced with a blend of 94% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 6% Merlot from 140 hectares dedicated to this wine. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the first year it was aged in barrels (75% French, 25% American) and the second year in large oak vats. Once again, this is a floral and elegant vintage from Valbuena, very much in line with what has happened in the best vintages since 2010. 2016 is going to be a wine that the public will love; it has an extroverted personality and is fragrant and generous, juicy and tasty and well textured, with fine-grained tannins and very concentrated and clean flavours. 2016 was a year of great freshness at Ribera del Duero, a year they like even more than 2018. 182,882 bottles, 6,030 magnums and some larger formats were produced. Bottling took place in June 2019".
