I had is big brother a couple of month ago and it was unapproachable, yes this Tempranillo is excellent and even though it needs time, it already shows it's great quality. The collaboration between Vega Sicilia and Rotschild pays off. The wine has a deep Ruby color with a light touch of brown, the nose is still tight with notes of smoked oak, black current, pin and flowers, full body with dry round tannins and great supporting acidity, long complex and delicious finish. My score 90, drink to 2024

Chocolatey and dark with silky tannins but it's too young

I thought bodega Sicilia was only in riveria del Douro but I was clearly wrong. Perfect pairing with sucking pig.

Modern polished Rioja wine, the style reminds of Ribera del Duero with dark elegant fruits and well integrated oak. A crowd pleasing wine.
