Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1970 (3 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1970

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 2bn, 1vts, labels slightly bin-marked, slightly scuffed capsules, very slightly sunken corks

70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Superb aromatic bouquet. So sweet and seductive. So absolutely round and complete that it is 'spheric'! A spicy infusion and a giant of a wine. A magnum drunk with Scottish woodcock was divine, with a nose of blackberries in liqueur and a taste of wine gums and liquorice - glorious rich glycerol all the way. In 2013, incredibly multi-dimensional nose and a milk chocolate, youthful taste of pure bliss. This is always landmark Vega, staying its ground in regal fashion. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

70% Tinto Fino，20%卡本納蘇維翁，10%梅樂、Malbec和Albillo。馥郁奔放的花香氣息，甜美迷人。口感豐腴圓融。辛香四溢，酒體雄碩。品嚐1.5公升裝，配搭蘇格蘭山鷸，真是極致享受。帶著黑莓甜酒的芬芳，些許葡萄酒軟糖和甘草味，甘油的醇厚順滑感覺貫徹始終。2013年品嚐，酒香層次更豐，牛奶巧克力味輕快討喜，不愧為Vega的經典，王者地位實至名歸。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
