Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1960 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1960

Ribera del Duero, DO

u.hs, label slightly scuffed, damp soiled and stained, slightly scuffed and wrinkled capsule, slightly sunken cork

In 2012, I had three fantastic bottles of this gem, so consistent and so enchanting. There is the pure scent, so winning and lingering, and then the rich, complex flavours that unfold with such elegance and élan. We just could not get enough of it - hence the three bottles! Then, in 2013, along it came again. More smoky and peaty on the nose, with lovely black fruit attack on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2012年品嚐過三瓶精彩作品，品質統一，非常突出。純淨的芳香纏綿，濃稠的複雜香氣味道十分優雅，實在愛不釋手-因此開了三瓶！2013年再嚐，更添煙燻和泥煤氣息，味蕾間襲來一股美妙的黑肉水果味道。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
