Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1980 (5 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1980

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 3bn, 2vts, 3 slightly marked and slightly torn labels, 2 marked and nicked labels, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 Taiwanese import label

60% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec and Merlot. Slightly 'Burgundian' nose. Superbly scented. Very red fruit. Soft, American oak sweet taste, with sweet leather at the end. Just pure pleasure. In 2013, from magnum, both the 'Burgundian' aspect and the American oak come through again in exciting mode. So sweet and silky. Very magical wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
