VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1982 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1982 Ribera del Duero, DOu. 2bn, 2vts, 3ts, 1hs, 1h/ms, labels slightly soiled and slightly wrinkled, 2 soiled, 1 nicked at bottom edge, capsules showing slight signs of corrosion65% 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.
