Description
Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1972
Ribera del Duero
Levels into neck, excellent color and clarity, signed by Pablo Alvarez, purchased from Sotheby's HK auction 'Wines Direct From Bodegas Vega Sicilia'
60% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Inky, mineral nose, smoky and chocolatey. Lots of impact and yet so gentle. Finesse of texture, sheer elegance and a lacy finish. A magnum had the inky minerality on the nose, plus mint. The taste was inky and spicy, with lots of glycerol to match the tannin. Dark roasted coffee finish, but ultimately sweet. In 2013, it is all great meaty splendour. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
