1999 Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva

"Fantastically dark, deep, balsamic richness with elegant glimpses of florality and blue/black fruit intensity. There are exotic hints of Sandalwood. On the palate there is intense, naturally concentrated fruit that is ripe and glossy with sweet blackcurrant. That balsamic quality of real substance is there, with spices and meaty notes, massive but supple, creamy tannins and excellent freshening acidity. Superb and will get better." - 95/100, Tom Cannavan
