Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1990 (3 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1990 

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 1bn, 1 capsule slightly wrinkled, otherwise excellent appearance, consecutive bottle numbers; 1 capsule légèrement froissée, autrement excellente apparence, numéros de bouteilles consécutifs

80% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2018 and from magnum, such a spicy nose, with great cassis and cigars all through. A huge, rich thickness to the texture and a touch of aniseed. The tannins have so much finesse and the chocolate finish has always been a feature of this wine. A tremendous experience, every time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
