VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1982 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1982 Ribera del Duerou. 2ts, 1hs, 7h/ms, 1ms, labels slightly wrinkled at edges, 7 slightly soiled, 5 soiled of which 3 scuffed and slightly torn, 2 with signs of old seepage, 6 capsules slightly corroded, 2 worn, 1 cork depressed65% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and Merlot. Spiced plum glühwein on the nose. Great mineral quality - a Unico hallmark. Liquorice taste, with great irony backbone. Fantastic with Cantonese roast duck. In 2013, a really smoky nose leads to a great, meaty, ripe taste. Ends on a note of scented embers that I find riveting.
