Vega Sicilia 'Unico' 1983 

Ribera del Duero, DO

u. 2vts, 2ts, 1h/ms, 1 m/ls, good appearance, 1 label slightly marked, 3 capsules have signs of seepage, 1 with old signs of seepage, 2 corks depressed, consecutive bottle numbers; Bel aspect, 1 étiquette légèrement marquée, 3 capsules présentent des signes d'écoulements, 1 avec des signes anciens d'écoulements, 2 bouchons enfoncés, numéros de bouteilles consécutifs

65% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec and Merlot. In 2019, it is the Tinto Fino that comes through on the nose, very fragrant and elegant. On the palate, I was surprised at how much it has matured, refined and softened, giving sweetness and sheer gulpability. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
