98 Robert Parker
I tasted a bottle of the 2009 Único blind and was taken by the freshness, the red fruit notes and the Burgundian-like characteristics of this vintage, which on paper was quite warm and dry. I also tasted the 2009 Valbuena, which is always more approachable, and was blown away by its aromatics. With time in the glass the Único opened up and got closer to the character of Valbuena but with more depth and clout, while showing extremely elegant. I tasted it again in the context of all the wines from the group, and it delivered all that I saw when I tasted it blind. It takes some time to unfurl its aromatic palette, and it feels young and somewhat undeveloped, younger than it is. It has a touch that made me think of the old vintages of Único on the nose but with very polished tannins and a soft mouthfeel that provides elegance. This is a wine that ages for no less than ten years before it's released. 2009 seems like a great vintage for Vega Sicilia, much better than what I anticipated. It should develop nicely in bottle. 74,274 bottles, 3,390 magnums, 209 double magnums and 22 imperials were produced. It has been in bottle since June 2015.

Inky ruby. An assertively perfumed, highly complex bouquet displays powerful, mineral-accented dark berry preserve, exotic spice, vanilla, potpourri and incense aromas, along with suggestions of cola and mocha. Broad, focused and deeply concentrated, offering palate-staining black and blue fruit liqueur, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that show remarkable clarity and are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. The spice, mineral and floral notes resonate emphatically on the strikingly long, sweet finish, which features harmonious tannins and building, resonating dark berry character.

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.
