Vega-Sicilia, "Unico"--Vintage 1995
Ribera del Duero
Tasting note: The 1995 Unico is a worthy successor to the profound 1994. Opaque purple in colour, it has aromatic complexity which nearly defies words. There are notes of earth, liquorice, hard wood charcoal, and black currants. Full-bodied, and powerful, the wine has beautiful balance with a multi-dimensional character and the structure to last for 25-40 years. The 1960 and the 1965, drunk within the last several months, appear to have many years ahead. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 169, February 2007
