Vega Sicilia Unico--Vintage 1985
Ribera del Duero
In original wooden case
Levels: bottom neck or better; nicked capsules
"Spain's most consistently great winery continues to turn out exciting wines...The 1985 Unico Reserva is already revealing considerable complexity and low acid, plump, round, rich flavors. There is no amber to be found in the wine's deep ruby/purple color. The nose offers tobacco, smoke, tar, and gobs of sweet black cherry fruit aromas. Full-bodied, with a layered, nuanced character, high glycerin (hence the sweetness in the flavors), and a lush, round, generously-endowed finish, this is a substantial as well as elegant, savory style of Unico Reserva that can be drunk now and over the next 15+ years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #116 (Apr 1998)
