Bodegas Vega Sicilia Unico Cosecha 2013 1.5L
Unico Myth full of truth
It is the Vega Sicilia flagship. The qualities of the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon in different proportions are assembled to perfection in this wine. Each provides a differentiating factor that makes the wine great in every vintage.
99 POINTS - Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
"Speaking as someone who has tasted many 2013 Bordeaux wines this year, at the 10 Years On point, this is an exceptional example of the vintage, nuanced, compex, light on its feet, singular and utterly delicious. This is what oyster shell salinity means in a wine, so savoury that it has edges of soy, soot, smoke, lightly smoked spice, fattening up to creme de cassis, blackberry pastille and liqourice through the mid palate, concentrated with huge length and grip, and a crushed rose petal finish. Just so good. Waves of flavour keep you glued to the glass. 33 year old vines, planted 2,222v/ha, up to 900 altitude. The ageing process is a thing of beauty also - Unico starts in barrel for the first year, then the blend begins before part of the wine is put back into barrel and other parts into larger casks. At the end of the second year they decide upon the final blend, and back into casks for another three years, racking once a year, then finally into bottle for 4.5 years before release, adding up to somewhere close to 10 years after harvest before it appears on the market (with the magnum version held back until 2015). Jane says Ideal with a 3 hour carafe"
The Vega Sicilia Único 2013 is a blend of 97% Tempranillo and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, boasting a slightly lower alcohol content at 14% ABV. The wine underwent a maturation process in 225-liter barrels during its initial phase, followed by further refinement in 22,000-liter oak vats until its bottling in June 2019. In comparison to its 2012 predecessor, the 2013 vintage displays a lighter density, yet it expresses itself with heightened subtlety and eloquence. The wine captivates with its clean and fresh nature, offering delectable flavours complemented by exceptionally fine tannins. It stands as one of the finest creations in recent years from the Vega Sicilia estate.
