Notas de "The Wine Advocate" 

The 2016 Valbuena was produced with a blend of 94% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 6% Merlot from 140 hectares dedicated to this wine. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the first year it matured in barrels (75% French, 25% American) and the second year in large oak vats. This is again a floral and elegant vintage of Valbuena, very much in line with what has happened in the best vintages since 2010. 2016 is going to be a wine that the public is going to like; it has an extroverted personality and is perfumed and generous, juicy and tasty and nicely textured, with fine-grained tannins and very focused and clean flavors. 2016 was a year of very good freshness in Ribera del Duero, a year they like even better than 2018. 182,882 bottles, 6,030 magnums and a few larger formats were produced. It was bottled in June 2019.

Otras puntuaciones: 18 / 20 MV sobre la añada 2010

"Algo reducido, con recuerdos lácticos, y tras ellos notas balsámicas y minerales. Hay personalidad en boca, con madurez sin excesos, equilibrio, seriedad y largura. Gran vino." añada 2009
