Unico 1996

Vega Sicilia

Case Format: 3x75cl

Max score: 98.0

40 of the 210 vine-growing hectares on the Vega Sicilia estate are used to produce Unico, which spends at least ten years between barrel and bottle, representing one of the longest ageing processes in the world. This incredible terroir, influenced by the Douro River and the unique ageing process, make their wines timeless when they age. A unique and timeless taste that has elevated it to among the aristocracy of the great classic wines.

It offers an infinite complexity that is gradually revealed, in every sip, the palate immensely silky and elegant, and has an ageing capacity that only a handful of wines in the world can claim.

We are still tasting young wines, this one is only starting to develop the complexity of bottle ageing. Warm but not overripe, with good structure. Supple and elegant, some freshness, with more acidity than average. (LG)

James Suckling

What a nose! Dried violets, figs, cacao, hazelnuts, dried herbs and subtle tiger-balm hints, as well as Chinese five spice. It’s sleek, tangy and complex. Elegant and light-footed layers of wild herbs and spice, wrapped up in ultra-fine tannins. Drinking deliciously. 90% tempranillo and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Tasted from magnum. Drink or hold.
