Description
Vega Sicilia Unico 1962owc
Magnum (1)
"The 1962 Vega Sicilia possesses quite astonishing purity on the nose with candied dark cherry fruit, eucalyptus, kirsch and a touch of cinnamon. This is what you might describe as a -perfect bouquet-. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, seamless and satin-like in texture: an Unico that is shimmering with untrammeled greatness. Youthful, vivacious and utterly compelling, this is a profound wine that even after four decades is surfeit with precocity. Undoubtedly, this must be one of the greatest Spanish wines to have graced this planet." (100pts Neal Martin, eRobertParker #202, Aug 2012)

"The 1960s was my favorite decade for Único, especially the even-numbered vintages, and it was great to taste the 1960, 1962, 1968 and 1970 in what was without a doubt the finest flight of the tasting. The 1962 Único, produced with Tinto Fino with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot and bottled at 13.5% alcohol, was in different oak containers until March 1980 when it was bottled. In the past, the élevage in wood was much longer." (99 pts. Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Jan 2023)
