Planted on mainly limestone soil similar to Burgundy, the Vega Sicilia vineyard is home to one of the world's greatest wines. The wine produced needs ageing, some vintages were aged for over 25 years in barrels. Nowadays, the estate operates a more `traditional' ageing process of no more than ten or so years.

(roughly 85% tempranillo and 15% cabernet sauvignon; aged for a total of seven years in large oak vats, new small barrels, used small barrels and large oak vats to rest before bottling, in that order): Inky ruby: doesn't look like a ten-year old wine. A heady, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, vanilla, pipe tobacco, new leather and potpourri, with a subtle mineral flourish. Spicy, sweet and expansive, offering palate-staining cherry compote and cassis flavors with exotic violet and chewing tobacco qualities. Deepens and gains spiciness on the smooth, gently tannic finish, which lingers with superb focus and tenacity.

87% Tinto Fino, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in large wooden vats for 15 months. Then matured for 17 months in new barrels before being returned to large wooden vats for 26 months before bottling. Released in 2014. Deep garnet. Incredibly aromatic with warm, damp cedar-wood and dense, dried black fruit. Concentrated with muscular tannin that has, no doubt, contributed to the wine holding up so well and feeling so vibrant at 21 years of age. Very long. A teensy-tiny bit of funk complementing the oak and fruit. (SCJ)
