Description

Vega Sicilia is Spain's most renowned and expensive red wine.The 1970 Unico is considered to be one of the greatest Vega Sicilia's of the Twentieth Century and was released in 1995.
The 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico surpasses the 1968 in its exceptional perfume and seductive,gorgeously textured,voluptuous,and sexy style.The color is a healthy dark ruby.The nose offers up smashingly intense aromas of lavishly oaked,but gorgeously pure black cherries and currants.The wine is full bodied,and nearly sweet tasting,because of the fruit's exceptional ripeness.Expansive and deep,with the wood,tannin,and acidity nearly masked by the sheer quantity of fruit,the 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico is a velvety-textured,seamless,rich,profound wine that is more approachable than the 1968,yet along with that legendary wine,remarkably fresh and youthful.It is astonishing that a 25-year-old wine could look,smell and taste so young,yet also be so complex.No one knows how Vega Sicilia achieves such brilliance,but the proof is in the bottle.This wine is frightfully expensive,as well as absurdly rare(most of it is gobbled up by millionaires in Spain and Western Europe),but it is a winemaking tour de force and one of the world's greatest red wines.The 1970 Vega Sicilia should drink well for 15-25 more years.
(96 Points).Tasted in 1995.
