Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5° 1991 is a full-bodied red wine from the Ribera del Duero region, crafted primarily from Tempranillo, with a minor proportion of Merlot. The 5° designation signifies a minimal ageing period of five years in a mix of new and used French and American oak barrels, alongside traditional large wooden vats. The 1991 vintage presents as a rich and opulent wine, with notes of black cherry fruit, cedar and dried herbs, all integrated with toasty new oak and spice.
