Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1967 (1 BT)

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1967

Ribera del Duero, DO

u.ts, slightly scuffed and bin-soiled label, slightly scuffed capsule

90% Tinto Fino, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, Malbec and Albillo. Magnificent Rhône-like nose. Spicy, deeply scented and with real breed. Great rich 'Northern Rhône' taste - violets and liquorice, with perfectly balanced fruit/acidity/tannin. So fresh and yet so subtle and complex. Lovely and meaty, with a rich fruit finish. One of my top Unicos. In 2013, sweet violetty nose. Great sweetness on the palate, tender and filigree in texture. This dances on the tongue in a delicious way. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

帶點隆河香味。辛辣，芬芳。有濃郁北隆河的風格，紫羅蘭，平衡度高的酸度／丹寧／果味。現在享用是最佳時刻，有甘草餘香，非常典雅及複雜。收結帶點肉汁及甜蜜的果味。是我最喜愛的年份之一。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
