Slightly weepy and stinky pretty fruit at the front of the palate and a bit truncated

This is an absolutely glorious wine. Approachable now but clearly a great future ahead, amazing finesse, a bit of American oak to start but then it burns and burns, Vega like they used to make it 40 years ago.

Very seductive. Lush plummy fruit with some spice and velvety length. Really open and pretty. Long

Much lighter. Fresh and balanced. Lucid fruit. Next to the 9 & 10 a much less intense wine. Pretty

Lots of fun bottles were popped at Al’s hosting this past weekend for his birthday celebration. All were served blind. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 6 reds and 1 dessert wine.

My WOTN. This was a total monster, yielding and unyielding all night long. It continuously went on a rollercoaster of revealing Classic American oak type notes like dill and coconut, but then it would fade and show pure fleshy black cherries and juicy, spicy rhubarb. It was weighty without being dense. Great lift on the palate with peppercorn, cherry tobacco leaves and clove. Still just a baby. I called this mid 2000s Vega Sicilia but couldn’t pinpoint if it was the Tinto or Unico.
