Description

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1999

Ribera del Duero, DO

Nicked label

90% Tinto Fino, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fabulously perfumed nose. A glorious taste of orange and 'boiled sweets'. Raspberries, blackcurrants and leather. Great length. Brilliant, especially from a complicated year. Complex, with a 'baroque' element that is a touch wild. In 2013, from magnum, comparable to a great Hermitage in weight and flavour. Super silkiness and a superb liquorice aftertaste. Miraculous wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
