VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1996 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1996 Ribera del Duero, DOVery slight sign of old seepage90% Tinto Fino, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and a dream vintage. In 2018, the bouquet is both stunning and immediate, complex and with that intriguing note of aniseed. Still so young on the palate, with dramatic impact and rich glycerol, balsamic notes and black liquorice. There is a touch of vanilla on the finish, which is so mouth-filling and flavourful that it is extremely unwilling to leave you - for which we are eternally grateful.
