Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1968 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1968

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 1bn, label soiled, capsule slightly marked at top, otherwise good appearance; Etiquette sale, capsule légèrement marquée au dessus, autrement belle apparence

70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. A real whiff of Burgundy on the nose. Sweet, ripe and classy on the palate. Great finesse of texture. Lots of fruit and attack. Great chocolate at the finish. In 2013, overwhelmingly spicy, expressive and full of personality. The fruit now dominates the chocolate. In full flight and pure joy - seize it whenever you can. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
