VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1967 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1967 Ribera del Duerou. 2bn, 2vts, 1hs, 1h/m, very good color, scuffed and soiled labels, scuffed and soiled capsules, 2 bottles with signs of seepage90% Tinto Fino, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Magnificent Rhône-like nose. Spicy, deeply scented and with real breed. Great rich 'Northern Rhône' taste - violets and liquorice, with perfectly balanced fruit/acidity/tannin. So fresh and yet so subtle and complex. Lovely and meaty, with a rich fruit finish. One of my top Unicos. In 2013, sweet violetty nose. Great sweetness on the palate, tender and filigree in texture. This dances on the tongue in a delicious way. Serena Sutcliffe, MW6 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
