Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1973 (1 MAG)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1973 

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. bn, slightly scuffed capsule, signs of old seepage

60% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Great spicy, meaty nose. Gloriously aromatic. Sweet violets. Heavenly spice-drenched taste, utterly rich and opulent. A superb, solid wine with fantastic fruit and body and some of the sweetness of the 1974. In 2013, the sweet, liquorice nose is heavenly. And the fruit bounds out of the glass at you. A touch of coffee at the end - great wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
