Tasting Notes:
The current release of the N.V. Unico Reserva Especial is a blend of the 1991, 1994, and 1995 vintages. Purple-colored it proffers a brooding, complex, sexy perfume of cigar box, leather, mineral, truffles, Asian spices and blackberry jam. Rich, savory, and plush, it effortlessly combines power and elegance. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 20-25 years.
Bodegas Vega Sicilia remains a benchmark for the world’s great red wines. The Valbuena bottling receives 3 years in barrel and 2 years in bottle prior to release.
