2011 vintage. Last tasted 7.23.24 (9.4). Really starting to get its' groove thang on. Picked up 8 cases at the beginning of this 2025 year to pour by the glass (btg) via Coravin until the onset of summer or so. 01.04.25. — a day ago

This is a magnanimous wine and still in its youth. A non vintage blend of declared Gran Reserva vintages: 2008, 2010, and 2011. The color is still deep ruby with hits of garnet on the rim. The bouquet on the nose is strong and nuanced, layered; with notes of blackberry, cherry, plum, and additional notes of cigar box and old leather. The palate is even more extraordinary, it is very well integrated with fruit, tannins, and acidity. Velvety! Flavors of black currant, cherries and figs are savory and complimented by coffee, graphite and some anise. The finish is elegant, reminiscent of minerals. Cheers. — 5 days ago

Although not as prestigious as Unico, this Valbuena 5 was an absolute delight! Rich and balanced, it paired perfectly with fowl (pigeon). — 10 days ago

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 25 days ago

this is my style! distinctively old world style in a new world setting. jammy, earthy, peppery but also very blended. reminds me of a southern italian wine from calabria. — 2 months ago
