Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1959 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1959

Ribera del Duero, DO

u.ts, slightly scuffed and damp affected label, slightly scuffed and wrinkled capsule

87% Tinto Fino, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Sweet, ripe nose. Burnt raisins and bitter orange chocolate on the palate. Lasts well in the glass. In 2013, that lovely, tempting sweetness again on the nose. The taste is so soft and melting. Absolutely enchanting. Oranges and cloves linger on the palate. Lovely wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

87% Tinto Fino，10% 卡本納蘇維翁，3% 梅樂、Malbec和Albillo。醇美甘甜的氣味，帶焦葡萄乾與苦橙巧克力的口感。杯中香氣久久不散。2013年品嚐，甜蜜迷人的酒香瀰漫鼻腔，酒體柔順融化，收結的橙香與丁香縈繞口腔，使人愛不釋手。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
