Único 1962, Vega-Sicilia (1)

Único 1962
Vega-Sicilia
(base neck, lightly torn and scuffed label)
1 bottle

"The 1962 Vega Sicilia possesses quite astonishing purity on the nose with candied dark cherry fruit, eucalyptus, kirsch and a touch of cinnamon. This is what you might describe as a -perfect bouquet-. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, seamless and satin-like in texture: an Unico that is shimmering with untrammeled greatness. Youthful, vivacious and utterly compelling, this is a profound wine that even after four decades is surfeit with precocity. Undoubtedly, this must be one of the greatest Spanish wines to have graced this planet." (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012)
