- Details
- Vega Sicilia's Unico is the iconic Spanish wine. It is considered the top wine produced and Spain and under Mariano Garcia's direction from the mid 60's until the late 90's, this received amazing reviews. Perfect fill, slight discoloration on label."The 1968 has an enormous reputation, but on this occasion, it was outclassed by the 1962. It is noticeably deep in color compared to coeval vintages. There are notes of black cherry, cedar, liquorice and undergrowth, yet the overall effect is that the -68 seems a little -serious-. The palate is structured and masculine with slightly drier tannins than the 1962 that leads to a comparatively foursquare, sinewy, obdurate finish. Dare I say that it probably still needs more time? Something tells me I will one day encounter a better bottle than this." 94 points Neal Martin The Wine Advocate
