Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1979

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 1vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, slightly bin-soiled labels, 1 wine-stained label, 1 slightly torn label, bin-soiled capsules, 1 Taiwanese import label

60% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, Merlot and Albillo. Tarry, cherryish nose. Good, big, inky wine. In 2013, from magnum, quite earthy on the nose and gloriously sweet and peaty on the palate. Such finesse of texture. Aniseed and red cherries on the finish. A wine with real breed. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
