Vega Sicilia 2007 Unico (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Vega Sicilia / Unico

Aromas of raisin and cassis lean in the direction of overripe. This is less elegant and more blocky than most bottlings of Unico, but with ripe, loamy blackberry and plum flavors, it tastes great. A slightly hollow but round finish with mild residual tannins suggests that this be drunk now through 2024.
