Unico 1987 Vega Sicilia

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

The renowned Unico (produced from 80-100 year old vines) is one of the world's most distinctive, singular wines. Always released late, it is incredibly fresh, and capable of 2-3 more decades of evolution. The 1987 Unico Reserva's opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of sweet cherries, flowers, licorice, and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with tremendous brightness and texture as well as an elegant, long, head-turning finish, it is undoubtedly super juice. However, for the difference in price, readers might opt to purchase either the 1997 or 1998 Valbuena.

Still lively, this supple red offers focused berry, licorice, raisin, cola and tobacco flavors that are exuberant, even a bit sharp. It's harmonious, with well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a spicy finish. Distinctive.
