Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1998 (3 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1998

Ribera del Duero, DO

Capsules slightly scuffed by case dividers

92% Tinto Fino, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Nose of heather and tar. Great richness and immediacy. In 2013, a really tarry nose. Still adolescent on the palate, at the start of its life, with the impact and attack of youth. My guess is that this will need decades to smooth out - it is bursting at the seams with personality and flavour. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 98

石南花和尼古丁的氣息。濃稠而澎湃。2013年品嚐，尼古丁氣息撲鼻。嚐到尚未成熟，仍在初生階段，勁度十足。我認為她仍需待數十年去掉銳氣--目前的個性和味道稍為鋒芒過露。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
