Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1996 (3 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1996

Ribera del Duero, DO

Tinto Fino 90%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10% - and a dream vintage. In 2024, an indelible, intense, brambles and blackberry nose, wildly rich and opulent. An intoxicating, great mouthful, with structure and glycerol in full conversation. Like eating blueberries, with a touch of that Russian leather of Cheval Blanc, plus Sarawak pepper. Great length and authority, but with a velvet glove. Pour into 'ballon' glasses and revel in it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 96

90% Tinto Fino、10%卡本納蘇維翁，堪稱夢幻年份。2018年品嚐，輕嗅之下已令人神迷目眩，香氣複雜，帶茴香氣息。入口依然年輕緊緻，勁道十足，濃郁厚滑，流淌著意大利黑醋和黑色甘草味。餘韻透出香子蘭甜香，此酒充盈口腔，香味縈繞不散－酒神賜福一眾愛酒之人的恩物。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
