VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1994 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1994 Ribera del Duero, DOIn 6-bottle owc, 1 bin marked and 2 slightly scuffed labels, 1 sligtht sign of old seepage85% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like a spice bazaar and a cigar box at the same time. Liquorice and blackberry flavours. So rich, so opulent, with superb body and depth. All those fascinating tastes of Unico, such as mint, aniseed and orange zest - there is nothing else like it. So clear and crystalline. Finish of toast. Just sink into it. In 2014, an extraordinary peppermint nose. Rich, voluptuous, spicy and orangey. Marvellously original wine, stamped with its own character and individuality.
