Lot 406 Details
BODEGAS VEGA-SICILIA RIBERA DEL DUERO ÚNICO 1995

Ribera del Duero.

The 1995 Unico is a worthy successor to the profound 1994 (awarded a score of 98+ in Issue #159). Opaque purple in color, it has aromatic complexity which nearly defies words. There are notes of earth, licorice, hard wood charcoal, and black currants. Full-bodied, and powerful, the wine has beautiful balance with a multi-dimensional character and the structure to last for 25-40 years. The 1960 and the 1965, drunk within the last several months, appear to have many more years ahead. February 2007 Drink: 2007-2047 WA 97

2 bts.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200
