Bodegas Vega Sicilia Unico Cosecha Ribera del Duero 2014
The first impression on the nose is more subdued in the 2014 vintage, but the palate is ample, rich and luscious. This is a wine with structure while also silky in texture, with concentration as well as finesse. It is a pleasure to drink it now, but it will be timeless as it evolves in the bottle.

Spains most prestigious wine estate, was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves. He planted bordeaux grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec) in the arid Ribera soils, as well as the local grape, Tinto Fino. The bodega, which is located beside a highway east of Valladolid, now has 140 hectares of vines. The estate's top wine, unico, is aged for up to 10 years in a mixture of French and American wood, both large wooded vats and new barriques. Valbuena is released after 5 years of ageing. The wines of Vega Sicilia are renowned for their complexity, intensity and longevity and are amongst the finest in the world.
