Vega-Sicilia Unico Ribera Del Duero 2012

The 2012 Vega Sicilia Unico is a legendary Spanish red wine from the Ribera del Duero region, crafted primarily from 95 percent Tinto Fino and 5 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage emerged from a warm and dry year, resulting in a concentrated and powerful profile that spent ten years aging in a combination of oak barrels and bottles before release. It presents a deep garnet color with an aromatic bouquet of black cherry, violets, and exotic spices, complemented by secondary notes of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and opulent, featuring polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that supports flavors of dark fruit and espresso. With an alcohol content of 14.5 percent, it is recognized for its incredible elegance and a long, persistent finish that promises exceptional aging potential through 2040 and beyond.
