Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1989 (12 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1989

Ribera del Duero, DO

Great levels in general, labels slightly scuffed by case dividers, BTs signed above main labels, purchased from Sotheby's Hong Kong "The El Bulli Cellar" in April 2013

80% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Lovely sweet, even cinnamon nose. So elegant and ready. Tasted from magnum, it had an incredible wild herbs nose. Tight and concentrated, with discernible tannins. Pretty exciting. From bottle in 2013, such a chocolate nose, with enormous charm and enticement. This will keep. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 93

80% Tinto Fino，20% 卡本納蘇維翁。動人甜美的肉桂香氣。非常典雅，現適宜享用。

品嚐1.5公升裝，散發曼妙的野香草氣息。濃烈緊閉，丹寧比較乾。令人興奮期待。2013年品嚐瓶裝，散發巧克力香氣，魅力逼人，令人神往。陳年潛力甚厚。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
