Unlike many, many other RdD the precision and elegance, with power and structure on display here is impeccable. The house style from the grand daddy Unico is apparent. This is a wine to savor, linger on and appreciate over hours. The complexity complicates a bouquet and palate that are fresh and soulful. #spain #ribera #alion #vegasicilia

16.5/20 (91/100)

Сочное вино с большим количеством чёрных ягод, черники, пряностей. Хвоя, манго. Танины чуть суховаты, много дуба.

More restrained due to cooler vintage. Precise & just ripe red fruit. Some subtle herb-y character. Pleasant.

One of my favorite all-round wines. After good airing, rich and delicate flavor, cherries and walnuts renaming in the palate. A superb wine from@the same region as Vega Sicilia.
