Vega Sicilia, 'Unico' 1991 Vega Sicilia, 'Unico' 1991 Ribera del Duero A huge array of scents of many dimensions - so Unico. Traces of aniseed. So silky in texture. So beautiful and orangey. Raspberries at the end. Pure berries and pure, stunning quality. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 7478 4 mags (4 owc) per lot: USD 9000-12000 Vega Sicilia Unico is, for me, one of the greatest wines of the world. I came to it relatively late, with my French palate wondering what it was all about when I first saw it four decades ago. It was mysterious, difficult to obtain and somewhat incomprehensible. Since then, I have become totally addicted and have also had the great good fortune to attend a number of historic tastings. I have watched the ownership change and the winery modernise to the absolute epitome of perfection. Vega Sicilia put Ribera del Duero on the map, in the way that Robert Mondavi brought California to us and Sassicaia revealed Bolgheri to the world. It is emblematic. It is also riveting, exciting and intellectually and sensually challenging, my ideal companion. Vega has soul, a fully-fledged masterpiece, with its own personality, honed over decades, and a true reflection of its region, climate and the area's oenological traditions. Unico is made only in great years and production can be as low as 20 hectares to the hectare. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Quantity: 1
