Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1968 (3 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1968

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 1bn, 1vts, bin-marked labels, slightly scuffed capsules, importer's slips covering bottom part of main labels

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

70% Tinto Fino，20% 卡本納蘇維翁，10% 梅樂、Malbec 及Albillo。洋溢布艮地的氣息，口感圓熟甘美，顯成熟貴氣。結構雅緻，洋溢豐富的果味，收結帶點巧克力餘韻。2013年品嚐，辛辣強勁，充滿個性，巧克力味被果香覆蓋。令人酣悅盡歡，萬勿錯過。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
