Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 2002 (3 MAG)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 2002

Ribera del Duero, DO

1 mag - Slightly scuffed label

Only 42,000 bottles were produced, 40% of a normal harvest. In such a cool, wet year, this is something of a miracle - they made it great! Real skill has given us this complex, Atlantic-style wine, baroque in character, with its leather, cocoa and coffee flavours on the palate. There is a sweetness at the end which is very appealing. Unico only emerges if this is guaranteed! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 95

只有42,000瓶，產量大約只有平常的百份之四十。在此寒冷、濕潤的年份也能釀出此等高質量實屬難得。高超的釀酒技術成就這複雜，帶巴洛克風格，展現有皮革、可可及咖啡的味道。甜美的收結引人入勝。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
