MATURE CUVEES FROM VEGA SICILIA
Vega Sicilia, Unico--Vintage 1968
Ribero del Duero
In individual original wooden cases
Levels: into neck
"An awesome wine! Judged only by the unevolved, saturated, dense ruby/purple color, this 27-year-old wine could easily be mistaken for a 2-year-old claret. The nose offers up copious aromas of sweet, jammy, black plums, black cherries, and cassis, as well as gorgeous, smoky, vanillin, floral, and licorice scents that tease the olfactory senses with the promise of considerable thrills. Extremely full bodied, massively rich, and unctuous, with layers of jammy fruit, adequate acidity, and moderate tannin, this huge wine's well-focused, structural component keeps everything in balance. There is a freshness, youthfulness, and extraordinary degree of promise in this amazingly young, fabulously concentrated Unico Reserva. It should take its place in wine history beside the greatest clarets of the decade of the sixties." Robert Parker, Wine Buyer's Guide, Fourth Edition
