VEGA SICILIA 'UNICO' 1982 |

Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1982 Ribera del Duero, DOu. 4vts, 2ts, slightly scuffed labels, slightly worn capsules, 2 very slightly raised corks, 3 very slight signs of old seepage65% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and Merlot. Spiced plum glühwein on the nose. Great mineral quality - a Unico hallmark. Liquorice taste, with great irony backbone. Fantastic with Cantonese roast duck. In 2013, a really smoky nose leads to a great, meaty, ripe taste. Ends on a note of scented embers that I find riveting. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 966 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
