Vega-Sicilia,"Unico", Artist series--Vintage 1974
Ribera del Duero. Bottled at the Bodega
Tasting Note: A perplexing wine, the extremely youthful, dark ruby/purple-colored 1974 Unico exhibits a shy, albeit promising nose of smoky, cedary, black-cherry fruit, tart, medium to full-bodied flavors, little tannin, and a more monolithic personality than most Vega Sicilia wines. It remains extremely young. If I had had this wine in a blind tasting, I would have guessed it to be 5-6 years old, not 20. Whether or not it will expand and develop complexity remains my only reservation. Otherwise, it is a rich, pure, well-made, big wine that has not begun to open.
