Vega Sicilia - Unico Reserva Especial (2019)
95/100
Robert Parker
"As I've observed in recent years, the non-vintage blend of Único Reserva Especial (the 2019 vintage) is made with younger vintages than those typically used. In this case, these are the 2006, 2007, and 2009 vintages, as well as, of course, the most recent Único vintages. It is primarily made from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. It underwent slightly longer barrel aging (the blend was bottled in June 2015, at the same time as the 2009 Único); thus, the 2006 and 2007 components spent more time in barrels. It has a character similar to the 2009, perhaps a bit more subtle and elegant but not really more complex, with fairly meaty tannins and body.” (Wine Advocate 2019 - Robert Parker) A rare and legendary vintage.
