VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1981 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1981 Ribera del Duerou. 1bn, 5vts, 4ts, excellent appearance, consecutive bottle numbers65% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and Merlot. A very small vintage. Glorious , sweet, ripe nose, with a touch of violets. Lovely coffee bean taste. Heavenly, sweet, supple tannins. Mouth-watering wine, intense, delicious, aromatic and fascinating. In 2014, sweet violets on the nose, so winning and seductive. This is just vocabulary-defying, but I shall try - cassis, coffee and black truffles. Liquid paradise. All this, plus extra freshness, from magnum.
