Unico Reserva Especial

Kæmpe spansk Top vin! Blend fra 2003, 2004 og 2006, frigivet i 2017. Reserva Especial er Vega Sicilia’s ikonsiske reserva der bliver lavet af ekstra fadmodnede vine fra 3 udvalgte årgange. Her som nævnt er det en blanding af 2003, 2004 og 2006. Efter op mod 10 år på fad og yderligere 4 år på flaske kom i Reserva Especial’en i handel i 2017, og jeg har haft den liggende i temperaturstyret kælder lige siden. En kæmpe vinoplevelse og et must-try for Unico, Pingus fans der vil smage de bedste af de spanske topvine. Parker skrev følgende om vinen: Robert Parker The one non-vintage wine released yearly, as a blend of different harvests, is now the NV Único Reserva Especial 2017 Release, which contains wine from the 2003, 2004 and 2006 vintages—very warm and ripe years in general in Ribera del Duero, especially the 2003. As all recent vintages of Único, it is mainly Tempranillo with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has younger wines than last year's release, which was made up of 1996, 1998 and 2002, and the wine shows it with less developed aromas and a more fruit-forward profile. It has the classical developed Vega Sicilia bouquet, but the newer vintages used this time and the extra bottle time they have given to the 2005 Único (which is released at the same time as this), makes them show similar profiles. What I'm trying to say is that this is certainly younger than the majority of Reserva Especial to date, and the forest floor, spicy and musky aromas are combined with more primary notes of fruit. The palate has the polished texture and the very fine tannins that are the signature of this cuvée, and a very long and tasty finish. It's quite approachable, but should also be able to develop in bottle.
