Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1965 (1 MAG)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1965

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. bn, very slightly bin-soiled label and slightly scuffed capsule, Taiwan importer's back label

75% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and Albillo. Wonderful meaty, plummy nose. Incredibly scented. The sweetness of the scent increases in the glass. Full and grapey, with a balsamic taste and finish. So seamless. In 2013, very meaty and smoky on the nose, plus spices. Superb Christmas cake flavours on the palate, with unbelievable raisins, plums and currants. Stunning wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
