BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO ÚNICO 1998 (1)
Ribera del Duero, Spain.
u. vts.
The 1998 Unico is purple-colored with a complex bouquet of wood smoke, violets, Asian spices, mineral, blueberry, and assorted black fruits. This is followed by a full-bodied, dense, loaded wine with gobs of sweet fruit, great concentration, and layers of flavor. It will continue to evolve for another 5-7 years and drink well through 2040+ February 2008 WA 98
BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO ÚNICO 2005 (1)
Ribera del Duero, Spain.
u. bn. marked & scraped label.
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
