a little nervous and has some cellar time ahead of it

the vineyards limestone soils manage to impart the requisite acidity

there is a minor sensation of green flavors

elegant and fresh nose blends notes of red and dark cherry with those of cassis

Vega Sicilia, Unico Vintage:1998 a little nervous and hasThe great eternal Unico, with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness. Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels, from selected plots (including 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) within Vega Sicilias estate, in the (rightly named) Unico method (72 months oak). Probably too young now, it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years. Spains flagship, and very difficult for me to taste without passion.
