Rezensionen & Bewertungen
98 James Suckling
Very ripe with plum, spice and dried-flower aromas, as well as chocolate, fresh flowers and sandalwood. Coffee and hints of meat. Sort of decadent. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and an intense, juicy feel. Unique cedar and walnut undertones. So delicious now, but one for the future, too.

The Único released in 2021, 10 years after the harvest, is the 2011 Único, selected from 40 of their 210 hectares of vineyards. 2011 is a concentrated and ripe vintage, and they selected 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that were cooled in a cold room for 24 hours before being sorted; the bunches and grapes macerated at 9 to 10 degrees Celsius for three to four days, and then it was inoculated with a pied de cuve to ferment with pumping overs. Malolactic was in stainless steel, and the wine was put through a long aging, 10 years between oak and bottle, using new and used French and American oak barrels and 20,000-liter oak vats. For Vega Sicilia, 2011 was a fresher year than 2010, not the common idea about those vintages in Ribera del Duero. The wine has a developed nose with some notes of ripe black fruit, meat and underbrush, somewhat herbal and perfumed. There is something about the nose of the Únicos that I cannot quite describe but is quite distinct, and it's in this vintage and also in the Reserva Especial. 88,288 bottles, 3,505 magnums, 318 double magnums, 60 Imperial and 3 Salmanazar were produced. The wine was bottled in June 2017.
96 Vinous
Deep, shimmering ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, vanilla, pipe tobacco, exotic spices, cola and potpourri. Deeply concentrated and energetic on the palate, offering smoke-laced black currant, cherry liqueur, spicecake and mocha flavors that display outstanding clarity and pick up a candied violet nuance on the back half. Polished, steadily building tannins frame the finish, which hangs on with outstanding, mineral- and floral-driven tenacity.

Der berühmteste Rotweinproduzent Spaniens, Vega Sicilia, bringt beständig die besten Verschnitte von Ribera del Duero hervor, sowohl was Stilistik wie Zugänglichkeit angeht. Das in Valbuena de Duero gelegene Weingut ist seit 1982 im Besitz der Familie Álvarez und nach wie vor das größte im Lande, mit 1000 Hektar Grund, davon 25% Rebfläche. Der Spitzenwein Unico ist ein delikater Verschnitt aus Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) und Cabernet Sauvignon. Der Unico profitiert von verlängerter Fassreife, die perfektioniert wurde, um eine großzügige Frische im fertigen Wein zu wahren. Daneben ist der exzeptionelle Reserva Especial ein jahrgangsloser Verschnitt aus einer Spitzenauswahl von hauptsächlich Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot, traditionell 10 Jahre gereift. Der Zweitwein aus dem bedeutendsten Weinberg von Ribera del Duero ist Valbuena, eine Cuvée aus Tinto Fino, Malbec und Merlot, die mehr Fruchtpräsenz aufweist.
