Vega Sicilia Unico 2004

A dry red wine from D.O. Ribera del Duero, crafted by the legendary Vega Sicilia winery. It offers a complex aromatic profile of ripe black fruits, violets, sandalwood, and spices, paired with a silky texture on the palate.

Key facts

  • Grape variety: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon
  • D.O. / Region: D.O. Ribera del Duero
  • Winery: Vega Sicilia
  • Soil / Altitude: Slope colluvium with limestone and quartz gravels in a sandy matrix
  • Ageing / Cellaring potential: 6 years in oak, 4 years in bottle; cellaring potential of 40 to 60 years

The vineyard

The vineyards are located where the slopes of the wasteland meet the alluvial plain. The soils feature a surface layer of fine colluvium with limestone fragments, while the deeper layers contain quartz gravels within a sandy matrix.

Ideal combination

Winemaking

Fermentation takes place in wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation in wood. This red wine undergoes an extensive aging process of nearly ten years, utilizing both French and American oak barrels of various sizes before finishing its refinement in the bottle.

Why buy it

This age-worthy wine stands out for its longevity and continuous evolution in the glass. It is an essential addition for collectors wishing to enrich their cellar with a historic reference from the region. If you are seeking a world-class wine experience, you can buy Vega Sicilia Unico 2004 online directly from our shop.

Amazing experience with this Vega Sicilia Unico. Very expressive, with ripe red fruit, licorice, chocolate, tobacco and balsamic notes on the nose. Medium-full bodied, well balanced, fine tannins, pleasant acidity, complex on the palate with long elegant finish.

A Vega Sicilia Unico, with 20 years and thoroughly decanted!!!. Maybe once in a Life time experience. This a top Tempranillo (with CS) full of nuances and balance. Very difficult to think something better in Spain or anywhere else. Of course it comes with a huge tag price (and this vintage is not easy to get) but it worth each penny. Its prime window is beggining. Drink or hold.

2004 vintage. The whole experience is great. Brownish ruby red. On the nose it has notes of oak and leather (like high quality new shoes 😂), ripe black fruits, Blueberry and raspberry jam. Very complex and expressive. Had a splash in the glass the moment I opened the bottle and then it was decanted for about 1.5h. It evolves beautifully over time. Super balanced. Dense and silky with mid round tannins. Elegant long finish Perfect company, love you @[1|58577838|Ana Mayen]❤️

Iconic, Luxurious, Tempranillo Perfection
This beautiful wine (87% Tempranillo, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals a deep ruby color and a complex bouquet of dark fruits, oak, and earth. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a velvety texture and layers of black cherry, plum, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. The finish is expansive and luxurious, a hallmark of Vega Sicilia's craftsmanship.

Lunch with Bruwer Raats. Not showing quite as well as the last time I had it, but the Somm just didn’t give this nearly enough aeration. That being said, still an incredible wine. WOTN 🥈

The nose has a nice plum, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, oak and cherry. The palate is a nice chocolate, black fruit and black cherry. It is a nice smooth and light wine.

Fabulous 🍷 which will age for decades. American oak on the nose, although less prominent than with Riojas of comparable quality. Dense, black robe showing no signs of age. Full bodied, thick, and complex on the palate with lots of spices and forest floor flavors. Basically a wine that manages to be bold and supple at the same time. Drink now or cellar forever.

Celebration wine for my Bday. Great condition with plenty of life ahead. Intense garnet, thick legs visible on the glass. Intense aromas of forest fruits, licorice, sweet toasty spice, leather, chocolate. Charming, deep, elegant and mysterious. Right amount of tannins, acidity and alcohol, medium to full bodied. A higher expression of balance, power and finesse. Impressive long lasting finish. Cheers amigos 🍷🇪🇸

Wonderfully layered and complex wine from Ribiero del Douro. Stewed fruits on the nose. Pencil shavings as well. Lots of life in this 2004 wine. Needs to breathe for an hour.

2004 is an excellent year of Spain. On Wine Spectator, it says drink / keep. Dark chocolate, mellow plum, black fruit,violet. Balanced and super elegant. Med+ acid/tannin/body/flavour. More oak, charcoal, smoke, vanilla. Earthy and Even more dark chocolate on palate. After 1 hour, it's a plum bomb! More acidity, less tannin. Aftertaste starts getting shorter. It can hold another 2-3 years at its peak. Unico is mind blowing, can rival with burg for elegancy.

Blind tasted. Dark colors and ripe fruit, powerful nose and long streaks made me guess warm climate. However I thought the jamminess of the wine was a sign of a strong bodied napa, but lo and behold this was the Unico, the hallmark of Vega Sicilia. I was blown away at the power and strength of the wine and how delicious it tasted with the roast beef dinner. Maravilloso!!!

Unico always derserve a special place in Spain wine history. GREAT bottle thaf shouod have been cellared for another 20 years. 4 Hour decant to ease down on the initial oakiness. Fruit bomb but in dark and deep sense. Never ending finish that keep on in the mouth. Absolutely stunning.
