Description

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1981
Ribera del Duero
u. 1bn, 1vts, purchased from Sotheby's 'Wines Direct From Bodegas Vega Sicilia' in Hong Kong on 3 April 2013, bottles signed by Pablo Alvarez

65% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and Merlot. A very small vintage. Glorious , sweet, ripe nose, with a touch of violets. Lovely coffee bean taste. Heavenly, sweet, supple tannins. Mouth-watering wine, intense, delicious, aromatic and fascinating. In 2014, sweet violets on the nose, so winning and seductive. This is just vocabulary-defying, but I shall try - cassis, coffee and black truffles. Liquid paradise. All this, plus extra freshness, from magnum. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
