Description
Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1990
Ribera del Duero
80% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. When released in 2000, a monster! Then, we decanted it two hours before drinking so that it could 'escape'. Very black fruit on the nose. Huge, mineral tannins. Became more meaty and peppery in the glass, ending on a peppermint note. Raw, concentrated power, with great ageing potential. In 2013, still extraordinarily youthful on both the nose and palate, with a marked dark chocolate taste. Stunning. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
