Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1994 

Ribera del Duero, DO

Excellent levels and appearance, consecutive bottle numbers; Excellents niveaux et apparence, numéros de bouteilles consécutifs

85% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like a spice bazaar and a cigar box at the same time. Liquorice and blackberry flavours. So rich, so opulent, with superb body and depth. All those fascinating tastes of Unico, such as mint, aniseed and orange zest - there is nothing else like it. So clear and crystalline. Finish of toast. Just sink into it. In 2014, an extraordinary peppermint nose. Rich, voluptuous, spicy and orangey. Marvellously original wine, stamped with its own character and individuality. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
