Vega Sicilia Único 1969 is a historical bottling from the iconic Vega Sicilia estate in Ribera del Duero. This release represents a classic era for Vega Sicilia, when the wine was often aged for over a decade in wood before being released. Now at an advanced age, it displays a sophisticated tertiary profile of dried leather, tobacco, truffles and faded roses. The palate remains remarkably intact, showing the extraordinary longevity for which the estate is justly celebrated.
