Vega Sicilia - Unico Reserva Especial (2019)
95/100
Robert Parker
As I have observed 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, they are the 2006, 2007, and 2009 vintages and, of course, the latest Único vintages. It is mainly based on Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and a little Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged in barrels for a little longer (the blend was bottled in June 2015, at the same time as the 2009 Único), so the 2006 and 2007 bases were in barrels for longer. It has a similar character to the 2009, perhaps a little more subtle and elegant but not really more complex, with fairly fleshy tannins and body ." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Robert Parker) A confidential and legendary cuvée.
