THE LEGENDARY 1970 VEGA
Property of a New York gentleman
Vega Sicilia, Unico--Vintage 1970
Ribera del Duero
Lot 166 levels: bottom neck or better.
Lot 167 levels: nine bottom neck or better, two very top and one upper shoulder; four glue stained labels. One badly bin soiled label
One of Vega Sicilia's distinctive practices is to release magnums of great vintages well after the wine's initial release. Magnums of the fabulous 1970 Unico Reserva Especial have just been released. This wine boasts an elegant, complex bouquet of cedar wood, blackberries, cherry liqueur, and vanilla. Opulently-textured, with fabulous unctuosity, vivaciousness, and vigor, superb ripeness, a full-bodied, super-concentrated attack as well as lush mid-palate and finish, this seamless classic can be drunk now, or cellared for two decades. This wine was brilliant from the 750 ml format, and is equally compelling from magnum. Wine Advocate #136 (Aug 2001)
