Vega Sicilia Unico
£425.00
Made by legendary Vega Sicilia winery in the Ribera del Duero, Unico is a wine of purity, power and precision. An aged blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers expressive aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, wet stones, and a powerful and complex palate with spiced plum and leather and incredibly long finish. One of Spain's finest wines.

Wine Advocate 98/100
The 2014 Único was produced with grapes from 40 hectares of vines selected from the 210 hectares the winery has. The grapes were picked between September 20th and October 3rd, and the blend was 94% Tinto Fino and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, with malolactic in stainless steel. The first part of the aging was in 225-liter barrels and the second one in 20,000-liter oak vats, and the élevage lasts 10 years between oak and bottle. It's a year that combines power and elegance; it's concentrated but has subtleness. I had a unique opportunity to taste it from magnum one year ago and was truly impressed. This tasting was consistent with those sensations.
2014 was a good vintage in the zone, a year with good rain and a big crop, not as powerful as 2012 or 2015 but a year with finesse. The wine feels very balanced, lower in alcohol and with integrated oak, crunchy, fresh and still young. It feels quite classical; it's fine-boned, elegant but also powerful, more like the Únicos from yesteryear. It has to be one of the finest vintages of recent times.
