Mariano García’s final vintage at Vega Sicilia. What a great bottle.

The nose opens with damp forest floor, leather, cedar, and quiet red fruit; subtle, reserved, endlessly composed.

On the palate, it’s silk laid gently over structure: dried cherry, tobacco, graphite, and savory earth carried by fine-grain tannins and measured acidity.

The finish reads like the final lines of a great novel: inevitable, complete, and exactly as it should be. And already, there’s a touch of nostalgia, because I don’t know when I’ll encounter something like this again. — a month ago

Pleasant - a palate opener for the night but not outstanding. — 5 years ago

A beauty. Sweet wine perfect with Thai food. Mix of white fruits all balanced together with peach, apricot, pineapple, and lychee notes. Intensely aromatic nose that could be smelled across the table. — 4 months ago

I don't know how it actually tastes on its own - made sangria with it using fruit/berries, mint, grenadine, and infused vodka. Delightful! $13 — 5 months ago

Well. These vintages are becoming rarer and rarer now that Beyoncé and Jay Z popularize it. Plum, graphite, tobacco on the nose. Poised and elegant on the palate, with silky fruit, fine grain tannins and a minera edge to it 👌🏻 — 4 months ago

Very smooth and easy to drink. Had some hard candy notes on the nose and taste. — 2 years ago

Completely unique. Rieslingesque in its fruit, minerality and transparency. With a rhone-like texture, relatively subdued acid and a tropical hint on the nose. Very interesting; a little too sweet for food right now. — 5 years ago
