Bottle of Vega Sicilia Único 1974, Ribera del Duero
DESCRIPTION
Bottle of Vega Sicilia Único 1974, Ribera del Duero.
Category: Red wine.
Level: B.
The Único is Vega Sicilia's reference wine, although it shares its special sparkle with the rest of the winery's wines. It comes from the oldest vines of the property and in its composition, apart from Tempranillo, there is more Cabernet Sauvignon than Merlot. Although it is old, the red maintains a liveliness provided by its good acidity, compensated by a round alcoholic content. It has an intense ripe cherry colour, with the lively edge of a wine that is always in fullness. The aroma is dominated by the toasted touches of the wood, with the hazelnut notes of its oxidative evolution during its years in barrels. It has a fullness of flavours of aged but clean wood, with dry and pleasantly bitter tannins from the oak, together with a touch of light sweetness from its alcohol. It is a very long flavoured wine, with race. This winery has been awarded the following prizes: Gold Medal and Grand Diploma of Honour at the 1927 Madrid Christmas Fair and the 1927 Barcelona Hotel Exhibition, and the Grand Prize of Honour at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.
