Vega Sicilia, Unico Vintage:2000 don’t think about touching bottles

don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020

There is better delineation and energy to the more obviously mineral-driven flavors that deliver fine punch on the balanced and youthfully austere finale

concentrated and with depth of flavor and length

great Bric del Fiasc

Vega Sicilia, Unico Vintage:2000 don’t think about touching bottlesThe great eternal Unico, with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness. Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels, from selected plots (including 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) within Vega Sicilias estate, in the (rightly named) Unico method (72 months oak). Probably too young now, it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years. Spains flagship, and very difficult for me to taste without passion.
