Vega Sicilia Único 2006
Descripción
Único es la gran referencia de Vega Sicilia. Uno de los vinos españoles que todo aficionado debería probar a lo largo de su vida. Procede de las viñas más viejas de la propiedad y es ideal para su guarda, ya que en óptimas condiciones puede degustarse hasta 60 años después de su elaboración. Su estilo se rige por tres descriptores: elegancia, firmeza y capacidad de envejecimiento. Al igual que en la añada 2005, el Único 2006 tuvo dos años de crianza extra en botella para que saliera al mercado en óptimas condiciones de consumo.

Opinión de los críticos
I tasted the 2006 Único again, and it's clearly the best Único produced in the last few years, to which I don't find much logic, as on paper 2004 and 2005 were better years in Ribera del Duero. However it is, the 2006 is a fantastic modern Vega Sicilia in the making, powerful and clean, still very young and marked by the élevage with a whiff of American oak and a creamy texture in the palate. It should age very well for a very long time. I'd wait to pull the cork, even if it's drinkable and quite showy already. This is the current vintage in 2018, even if the 2007 and 2008 were released before it and even before the 2005. In 2019 they will release the 2009. 93,993 bottles, 2,552 magnums, 165 double magnums and six imperials were produced.
Incredibly floral and beautiful with dark berry, spice, cedar and mint. Chinese plums. Asian spices. Bark. Tea. Full body, dense and so soft and complex. The finish goes on for minutes. Endless and fine. January 2017 release. This reminds me of the gorgeous 1991 or 1964. Drink forever. A wine that you want to spend time with.
From vines averaging 35 years of age across 40 hectares, Único undergoes a minimum 10 year ageing process in both small and large American and French oak barrels, plus time in bottle. After a while in the glass the aromatic profile grows, charming with redcurrants, roses, and fine oak. In the mouth it lives up to its 'Unique' name. The depth of flavour impresses, and so too does the complex layering. Mineral, chalk, red fruit, wood smoke and fresh herbs - there’s so much to discover, and all of these characteristics are building materials for the future, along with the very bright line of freshness. Very promising.

Le ha pasado lo que a otras añadas, que inicialmente parecían normalitas y luego han resultado INCREIBLES. Un must have.
