Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1994 (1 DM)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1994

Ribera del Duero, DO

Label signed and slightly scuffed, packed in lockable owc within the original outer carton, key included, purchased from Sotheby's Hong Kong "Wines Direct From Bodegas Vega Sicilia" in April 2013

85% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like a spice bazaar and a cigar box at the same time. Liquorice and blackberry flavours. So rich, so opulent, with superb body and depth. All those fascinating tastes of Unico, such as mint, aniseed and orange zest - there is nothing else like it. So clear and crystalline. Finish of toast. Just sink into it. In 2014, an extraordinary peppermint nose. Rich, voluptuous, spicy and orangey. Marvellously original wine, stamped with its own character and individuality. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 96

85% Tinto Fino，15% 卡本納蘇維翁。散發香料市場和雪茄盒香芬。帶甘草及黑莓果味。口感豐腴華麗，酒感巨碩、深度懾人。盡顯Unico 多姿多彩的香味，例如薄荷、八角和橙皮 - 無可比擬的特色。酒感清透純淨。收結有烤麵包香。2014年品嚐，洋溢曼妙的胡椒薄荷香。別具一格的佳釀，充滿個性。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
