Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1973 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1973

Ribera del Duero, DO

u.hs/ms, slightly scuffed, damp soiled and stained label, slightly scuffed and corroded capsule, minor sign of old seepage

60% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Great spicy, meaty nose. Gloriously aromatic. Sweet violets. Heavenly spice-drenched taste, utterly rich and opulent. A superb, solid wine with fantastic fruit and body and some of the sweetness of the 1974. In 2013, the sweet, liquorice nose is heavenly. And the fruit bounds out of the glass at you. A touch of coffee at the end - great wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

60% Tinto Fino，25% 卡本納蘇維翁，15% 梅樂，2% Malbec和Albillo。辛香四溢、充滿肉香，華麗馥郁。散發紫羅蘭的甜美芬芳。香料味紛雜濃郁，酒體豐滿厚實，同時又有清新果味與1974年份佳釀的甘甜。2013年品嚐，甘草的香甜氣味使人迷醉，濃郁的果味自杯中撲鼻而來。結尾有一絲咖啡香，十分出色。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
