Vega Sicilia - Unico Reserva Especial (2019)
95/100
Robert Parker
"As I've noticed in recent years, the non-vintage blend of Único Reserva Especial (2019 vintage) is made with younger vintages than those usually used. In this case, it's the 2006, 2007 and 2009 vintages and, of course, the latest Único cuvées. It's mainly based on Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and a little Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a slightly longer barrel ageing (the blend was bottled in June 2015, at the same time as the Único 2009); so the 2006 and 2007 bases were in barrels longer. It has a similar character to the 2009, perhaps a little more subtle and elegant but not really more complex with tannins and a fairly fleshy body." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Robert Parker) A confidential and mythical cuvée.
