Vega Sicilia 98 Unico 750 ml
To lovers of Spanish wine, Vega Sicilia needs no introduction. The 250-acre estate is by far the most prestigious wine producer in Spain, ranking with the world's greatest names. The property is located 100 miles north of Madrid in the shallow Duero river valley on the high remote plateau of Castilla Léon. The altitude is some 2,500 feet above sea level, creating a unique climate; the cold nights and hot days during the crucial ripening period in September largely contribute to the uniqueness of Vega Sicilia. Unico is generally a blend of 60% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot completed with some Malbec, all from vines more than 50 years old and some 80 years old. The wines are truly remarkable with enormous complexity, and richness. The 1998 is garnet red, youthful but mellow and round on the nose, lush and smooth-textured on the palate with a long finish; the core of acidity and the strong new oak component suggest further cellaring.
