Notas de "The Wine Advocate"

The obsession in 2019 was to avoid excess ripeness and to keep the freshness, so they did a softer vinification, used larger vats for the élevage and used less American wood. The 2019 Valbuena was produced with a blend of Tinto Fino with 3% Merlot. It has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.88 and 4.6 grams of acidity. I love the nose; it is perfumed and subtle. And the wine is beautifully textured; the tannins are very fine, silky even, quite different from the tannins from the other 2019s from the group that I tasted next to this, Macán and Pintia. A triumph over the conditions of the year, it's a more elegant Valbuena than I anticipated. 190,490 bottles, 5,581 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2022.

Otras puntuaciones: 18 / 20 MV sobre la añada 2010

"Algo reducido, con recuerdos lácticos, y tras ellos notas balsámicas y minerales. Hay personalidad en boca, con madurez sin excesos, equilibrio, seriedad y largura. Gran vino." añada 2009
