The least expensive offering in Vega Sicilia’s
portfolio is the 2000 Valbuena. A considerable crop-thinning (about
40% of the yield was eliminated) resulted in a dark ruby/purple-colored
wine offering a big, rich bouquet of creme de cassis, tobacco smoke,
earth, herbs, and licorice. This ripe, fleshy, medium to full-bodied,
lusty, heady 2000 can be consumed over the next 10-15 years.
