Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1982 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1982

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. vts/ts, soiled and scuffed label, scuffed capsule, slightly sunken cork

65% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and Merlot. Spiced plum glühwein on the nose. Great mineral quality - a Unico hallmark. Liquorice taste, with great irony backbone. Fantastic with Cantonese roast duck. In 2013, a really smoky nose leads to a great, meaty, ripe taste. Ends on a note of scented embers that I find riveting. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 96

65% Tinto Fino，20%卡本納蘇維翁，15% Malbec和梅樂。散發李子熱甜酒辛香。礦物感極佳 - Unico的標誌。 嚐到甘草味，骨幹富滿生鐵味。配搭烤鴨，滋味一流。2013年品嚐，先聞煙燻香，後嚐到熟潤的肉香。收結有一陣熏香餘灰的奇香，甚得我心。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
