Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial, Ribera del Duero - 2025 release En Primeur - Case of 3
SPAIN
The Unico RE is always a blend of three exceptional vintages, and the 2025 release is made up of 2011, 2012, and 2013. 2012 is the powerhouse while the 2013 bring super freshness, and the 2011 more of a developed quality. Fully nine years in a mix of barrel, foudres, and bottle.
Graphite, truffle, tobacco, sapidity and tannin that is pure silk. It offers great balance and depth. Multi-layered aromas and a balance between smooth tannin and a clearly tertiary flavour profile with dried herbs and lots of cedar. 2024-2045 18/20
Ferran Centelles for JancisRobinson.com
It has a very harmonious and subtle nose, and the wine shows extra complexity and elegance. It has the Único nose with more nuance and subtleness, but what I liked the most was the silky texture and the elegance of the tannins, as usual combining more developed characteristics with elegance and freshness. This is another stellar release of their non-vintage classical blend, slowly going back to the style of yesteryear. 98/100
