Lot 229 Details
BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO ÚNICO 2005 (OWC)

Ribera del Duero, Spain.

It's mostly Tempranillo with some 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and aged for almost six years in 225-liter French and American oak barrels and 20,000-liter oak vats. The extra time in bottle has helped the wine to develop its bouquet, and it feels very aromatic and open, with the classical Vega Sicilia perfume of yesteryear, earthy, leafy and spicy, even if they wine was kept because of its power. It's still powerful, but at the same time it's elegant and has a polished mouthfeel and fine-grained tannins. February 2017 WA 96

1 mag.    per lot $1,400 - $1,600

Realised: $1,236
