Vega Sicilia Unico 2009

Region: Spain, Ribera del Duero, Castillo Y Leon

Type: Tempranillo Red

ABV: 14%

Description: This is a wine that ages for no less than ten years before it's released. The building of the Ribera del Duero was from smaller barrels to larger barrels over a period of six years, finishing in larger vats. Then four years in bottle. Non sequential releasing with the 2005 and 2006 being released after the 2007 and 2008. This 2009 has good ripeness and deep fruit presence on the nose with rich red and dark plums, subtly earthy spice, cedar and fresh tobacco. There’s terrific concentration on the palate and very ripe dark plum, blueberry and cherry flavours. The tannins are fresh, very long and carry deep.
