Vega Sicilia Tinto Valbuena 5 2014

This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting

stunningly rich flavors that dance across the palate and the length here is flat out phenomenal

spice and gentle earth scents

An overtly floral and markedly earthy nose is quite restrained if exceptionally pretty with its cool array of red and blue pinot fruit scents laced with hints of leather and herbal tea

blackberry and blueberry fruit

unctuous texture Petrus obtains in ripe years

There is a marked difference in scale as there is better density to the muscular and intense flavors that brim with evident minerality on the firm

Dense ruby/purple in color

and the overall purity and equilibrium flawless

intellectual bouquet with scents of dried honey

There is excellent energy and precision to the dusty

honey and smoke flavors and a very sweet finish
