1979 Vega Sicilia, Unico, Ribera del Duero DO 1×1.5L
$ 96.92
Tasting Notes Robert Parker 89 This wine has scored higher in previous tastings. In the company of other Unicos, it appears leaner, more backward and austere. Hard tannin dominates this medium-bodied wine, which exhibits a dark ruby color with a touch of amber at the edge. Closed and spicy, this wine requires 4-5 more years of cellaring. Based on this tasting, the 1979 does not appear to be a candidate for greatness, although this bottle may have been less representative. [Robert Parker, 01/02/1995]
