Just like what clearly happened in Rioja, where there are plenty of wines to taste, it seems that in Ribera del Duero 1981 was also a better vintage than 1982, despite 1982 being famous because it saw the birth of the appellation. It's what I felt when tasting the 1981 Único in magnum next to the 1982; the 1981 is superb, one of the finest vintages and certainly the highlight from the 1980s, together with 1986. The wine shows youth, Ribera to the core and the essence of Vega Sicilia, a great, classical Vega, a legend in the making. Or is it already a legend? It was produced with Tinto Fino and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon plus 15% Merlot and Malbec with 13.5% alcohol. This was released in March 1998. 77,092 bottles and 2,000 magnums produced. The label has a painting from Antonio Vázquez.
