Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1970
Ribera del Duero
Lot 2355: Magnum numbers 547, 565, 1619, 1850, 564, 1240, scuffed labels, otherwise very good appearance, excellent color and clarity, Lot 2356: u. 1vts, 1ts, Magnum numbers 546, 725, 614, 335, 765, 768, 1 sign of seepage, 2 nicked labels, scuffed labels, excellent color and clarity

70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Superb aromatic bouquet. So sweet and seductive. So absolutely round and complete that it is 'spheric'! A spicy infusion and a giant of a wine. A magnum drunk with Scottish woodcock was divine, with a nose of blackberries in liqueur and a taste of wine gums and liquorice - glorious rich glycerol all the way. In 2013, incredibly multi-dimensional nose and a milk chocolate, youthful taste of pure bliss. This is always landmark Vega, staying its ground in regal fashion. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
