    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Vega Sicilia, Unico, Ribera del Duero, 2006

    A complex, broad Unico with impressive layers of flavour that open up languidly across the palate. There’s something almost relaxed about the way it delivers layer after layer flavour, as balsamic, sweet morel and blond tobacco notes meet salty black berries and fine Asian spices. Complex, almost creamy through the mid palate, with molten tannins that flow seamlessly from start to finish this is an Unico that could be enjoyed straight out of the blocks, or kept for a number of years.

    ABV:
    14%
    97/100
    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    Saturated ruby. An amazingly complex array of red and blue fruit preserve, spice and floral scents is accompanied by suggestions of incense, pipe tobacco, coconut and candied licorice. Utterly stains the palate with impressively concentrated yet lively, smoke- and spice-laced cherry compote, blueberry, fruitcake and violet pastille flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Sappy and broad on the endless finish, which shows outstanding thrust and dusty tannins that are absorbed by the wine's densely packed fruit.

    Vega Sicilia

    Founded in 1864, 118 years before the Ribera del Duero region was demarcated, Vega Sicilia are and always have been the pace setters in the region. Their 250 hectares of vines are planted with Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec and impressively they are the only Bodega to have their own cooperage. These staggeringly concentrated, complex and robust wines are aged for a minimum of five years in barrel before bottling.
