Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1985 (5 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1985  

Ribera del Duero, DO 

u. 1bn, 4ts, slighly bin-soiled labels,packed in 12 bottle owc with a missing lid 

70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec and Merlot.  Spicy, healthy bouquet, with exotic notes of the casbah! Vibrant chocolate taste (a very Unico thing), with candied fruits and musky minerality.  Lots of tannin, with glycerol to match.  A real finish of dates, a 'first' for me.  Powerful.  In 2013, the nose is smoked dates and the taste is pure sweetness and seduction, still with youthful bounce.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW
