Vega Sicilia Unico 1962 (1x75cl)
You can credit you account in Account Management.
The 1962 Vega Sicilia possesses quite astonishing purity on the nose with candied dark cherry fruit, eucalyptus, kirsch and a touch of cinnamon. This is what you might describe as a -perfect bouquet-. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, seamless and satin-like in texture: an Unico that is shimmering with untrammeled greatness. Youthful, vivacious and utterly compelling, this is a profound wine that even after four decades is surfeit with precocity. Undoubtedly, this must be one of the greatest Spanish wines to have graced this planet. 87,600 bottles produced. Drink now-2020+ Tasted January 2012.

Vega Sicilia is Spain's “First Growth". Vega is the only Spanish producer in the Liv-ex ‘Power 100’ 2019 list of the world’s most collectable wine estates. And in 2019 it jumped to 26th place (above Pétrus, Opus One and Le Pin). Michael Broadbent once called Vega Sicilia "The Lafite of Spain" - and this epithet has stuck. This Ribera del Duero estate is adored by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Vega Sicilia speaks of the barren, hot sunshine terraces of central Spain. These are complex wines that are a constant and enjoyable paradox: showing depth with brilliance, grace with power.
