Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva Ribera del Duero Magnum (1.5 L) 1991
The Wine Advocate
The 1991 Único comes through as very classical in a Bordeaux sense (it contains 15% Cabernet Sauvignon); it's serious, austere, with contained ripeness, starting to show more tertiary notes and some development, really very good. It's a wine that could evolve in the style of the 1953, which is reminiscent of the 1985, but one gear below. The grapes were picked from the 30th of September in very warm weather, but the season saw enough rain. Very good. 2,222 magnums. Artwork from Francisco Iturrino. - Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez
