Vega Sicilia Unico, Ribera del Duero 2015 En Primeur - Case of 3
SPAIN
Unico is one of the world’s legendary wines, this IS Vega Sicilia, and it is aged for ten years before release – five years in barrels, foudres and tank, and five years in bottle.
Cedar, graphite and a fine touch of earthiness. It is fluid, with melted tannins and very smooth. Certainly, a year of great delicacy and with the barrel less marked. It is totally multi-layered and you can already perceive some tertiary notes that are complemented by a touch of pine-forest freshness at the back of the palate. Great work; it is a totally overwhelming wine.
2024-2060 19/20 Ferran Centelles for JancisRobinson.com
It's a ripe and concentrated vintage, classical modern Vega Sicilia nose, expressive, aromatic and open, with notes of dark cherries, spice, cigar box and a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant fine-grained tannins, with good balance and the rustic elegance of the best Ribera del Duero.
