There is enough fruit for the 2001 to drink well for another decade or so

I was frankly shocked to find that the aromatic profile here was even more elegant and arguably finer than that of the Amoureuses with its bright red and blue pinot fruit

don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020

concentrated and with depth of flavor and length

Vega Sicilia, Unico Vintage:2000 There is enough fruit forThe great eternal Unico, with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness. Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels, from selected plots (including 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) within Vega Sicilias estate, in the (rightly named) Unico method (72 months oak). Probably too young now, it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years. Spains flagship, and very difficult for me to taste without passion.
