Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1995
Ribera del Duero, DO
Good levels and appearance, consecutive bottle numbers; Bons niveaux et apparence, numéros de bouteilles consécutifs
85% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the vintage between the stand-out 1994 and 1996, but it is a worthy rival. Amazing, complex bouquet. Irony, inky, elegant and beautiful on the palate, with a fascinating minty sleekness. In 2013, a bouquet of immense breed and refinement and such a taste of coffee liqueur. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
