Bodegas Vega Sicilia

Unico Reserva Especial 2023 Release

99/100 | James Suckling Extremely nuanced and complex nose that shows high-grade cigar box and cigars, fresh blackberries, orange peel, together with red-chili chocolate, walnut, iron and hints of cocoa powder. This is intense, elegant and savory with real finesse, savoriness and complexity. Juicy, dusty and immaculate tannins and an extremely long, savory finish that lasts over a minute. Mainly a blend of 2009 and 2011 and 2012. Surprisingly, this is already approachable now, but better after 2024. This is a non-vintage Vega Sicilia that pays tribute to tradition. Only the best Unico vintages are used to produce this iconic and extraordinarily complex wine, which is a combination of years, virtues, experiences and sentiments that encapsulate the deepest essence of a unique and unrepeatable style, the Vega Sicilia style.
