VEGA SICILIA Unico Gran Reserva 2009 Bottle - NO DISCOUNT

Description

The 2009 Vega Sicilia Único is a stunning example of balance and complexity. It opens with rich layers of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum, complemented by elegant hints of cedar, tobacco, and earthy mineral notes. On the palate, it’s velvety, refined, and seamless, with beautifully integrated tannins and a lively acid backbone. The finish is long and graceful, showcasing the vintage’s depth and finesse—an exceptional wine to savour now or cellar for future elegance.

2009 was a warm and dry year, but the 2009 Único from magnum showed very well. It was released 10 years after the vintage, after the previous years were not released in chronological order. This felt young and energetic, still a little closed but powerful and balanced. As with the 2011, it's "only" 14% alcohol. 3,390 magnums were filled in June 2015. Artwork by Lita Cabellut.
