VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1998 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1998 Ribera del Duero, DOVery slightly scuffed label, slight sign of old seepage92% Tinto Fino, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Nose of heather and tar. Great richness and immediacy. In 2013, a really tarry nose. Still adolescent on the palate, at the start of its life, with the impact and attack of youth. My guess is that this will need decades to smooth out - it is bursting at the seams with personality and flavour. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 981 mag (owc)Estimates are per lot
