Merchant's description
Aged for five years before release, Valbuena is the younger sibling to Vega Sicilia`s legendary Unico. Ripe fruit and spice on the nose is followed by bright, crunchy red fruit on the palate and finish. Drinking wonderfully now, but will equally age for 5 - 15 years without issue.
