Description
Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 2010
Ribera del Duero, DO
1 label very slightly marked; 1 étiquette très légèrement marquée
94% Tinto Fino, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2019, this shines out as a very good vintage, on the cooler side - it made me think of Bordeaux 2010s, with their freshness and obvious longevity. Wonderful vibrancy on the nose, so scented it is infused. Mint, black fruit and violets. Incredible plums and coffee on the palate. Lip-licking richness, with the youthful freshness and very harmonious tannins. Alluring, in every sense. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
