Unico 1980 Vega Sicilia

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (90)

-There was a lot of rain in 1980,- explained Pablo Alvarez, -The wine is more a miracle of nature than of man.- The nose on the 1980 is relatively foursquare and masculine with scents of briary, dried tobacco, forest floor, dried orange peel and a scent of what reminds me of the interior of an old English church! It actually improves with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. The fruit has certainly moved into its mature phase with dried herbs, white pepper, a little animally and Rhone-like towards the savory finish that shows good persistency. However, it seems foursquare compared to the 1981 or 1982. 38, 480 bottles produced.
