James Suckling September - 2022
James Suckling
This has an aromatic nose of dried roses, chocolate orange, plums, peaches and cloves. It's soft and fine on the palate, with tangy acidity and fine tannins. Delicious fruit and floral character. Aging nicely. 80% tempranillo, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot and malbec. Tasted from magnum. Drink now.

Falstaff July - 2013

Medium carmine garnet, delicate ochre rim. Finely fruity bouquet, pleasant hint of morello cherries, a touch of candied violets, with subtle oak spice. Powerful, substantial and complex, delicately peppery spice, powerful, extremely present tannins, delicate forest berry preserve in the finish, still very youthful, needs some more time, is still not fully developed, great future potential. Convincing, great, distinctive Único. (79,500 bottles; drink/cellar +30)

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate October - 2012
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Pablo Alvarez believes 1987 was an atypical vintage for Vega Sicilia and that initially the Unico was “very tense, not generous and unusually harsh” but in bottle, he finds that it has become relaxed and whole. A blend of 80% Tinto Fino, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot/Malbec, it has a comparatively introspective bouquet with blackberry, warm gravel, blood orange and raspberry coulis. It opens nicely with aeration although it retains some of its saturnine nature that was apparently remarked upon its release. The palate is medium-bodied with an attractive, edgy bitter note on the entry. The tannins are a little coarse compared to other vintages but harmonious in the mouth. It is interwoven by edgy, crisp acidity with touches of cooked meat and mandarin, plus a little liquorice towards the sappy, succulent finish. It is missing a little flair, but represents a fine, assertive style of Unico that should mellow with bottle age. 79,240 bottles produced. Drink 2014-2030+.

Sweet, fragrant and opulent, this is a seductive Unico with generosity, depth and supple tannins. Youthful and vigorous, this wine should open up even further with another decade in bottle.

Wine Enthusiast January - 2001

One of the mysteries of Vega is how a wine released so late can be so fresh and vibrant. The '87 is no exception, featuring red raspberries and cherries counterbalanced by cedary oak. Focused, lean and dry, this vintage of Unico may turn out to be too elegant for its own good, but the delicately fruity, intricately wrought finish seems to go on and on.

Still lively, this supple red offers focused berry, liquorice, raisin, cola and tobacco flavours that are exuberant, even a bit sharp. It's harmonious, with well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a spicy finish. Distinctive.

Transparent garnet. Heady and voluptuous on the nose and then really quite cool and fresh on the palate. Lightly powdery texture on the end. Remarkably clean and fresh.
