Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5 – $114.99
Everyone knows of the legendary “Unico” by Vega Sicilia, and while Unico’s quality is undisputable it also commands a price worthy of a First Growth of Spain. Sitting at $500 or more for a bottle, few have had the opportunity to try this celebrity bottle. I would like to introduce you to Vega Sicilia’s second label – Valbuena 5; aged for 5 years before release and always of reserva quality this wine is a great opportunity to try the legendary quality of Vega Sicilia but at a fifth of the price of Unico.
After tasting this wine last week there was no competition for the wine of the week spot. A complex earthy nose with smoked meats and warm red fruits. The palate was smooth and delectable with notes of cedar and pine backed y plums, dark chocolate, and saddle leather. The finish is full of exotic spices and a rocky minerality. We have the best price in the country on this bottle, with only four cases in the warehouse this is one to jump on quickly!
