Vega Sicilia Unico Bodegas 2013

Inky garnet to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of blackberry and bittersweet chocolate. It simultaneously offers refinement and power on the palate, with plush tannins that increase in volume and drift away, while purple plum, Mission fig, mocha and star-anise flavors with a hint of mint tea gently ply the palate. Drink through 2043. Score – 98. (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2024)
