Group tasting of Spanish Reds, this magnum of a beast was beaten by the 2010 vintage! Great honour in comparing both bottles.

Just amazing! No words. Another stunning vintage. Arguably our favorite Tempranillo ever. Needs time to open and breathe. Put some in a glass and taste it, give it an hour or so and then enjoy slowly over a few hours. Develops beautifully.

Countdown! 8999… As I’m approaching review 9000 I want to share 10 wines that blew me away the last months! Vega Sicilia’s Unico doesn’t need to be introduced here I think ☺️. It was actually the winner in the countdown to 7000. It’s back, this time an older vintage but also as it marks what I like the most about Vivino: making friends! This one was generously treated by @[1|23165897|Pierre Dionne] to celebrate his birthday with also @[1|32660792|LubosV] present. What an evening! Because of that limited notes.

Excellent! Toasted wood, cured meat and chocolate on the nose. Black cherry, oak, vanilla and cocoa on the palate, together with a hint of dill. Lovely, and still young and lively.

Simply amazing. Notes of oak, leather, tobacco, vanilla, cherry and plum. Smell of oak, vanilla, leather and red fruit on the nose. Cleansing nosefeel. Balsamic and firm mouthfeel. Great acidity and soft tannins. Pairs well with red meat. Used a Zalto glass. Amazing value. Quenching, dry and long lasting finish. Grand café.

RNDC Tasting Indianapolis. A lot going on in this glass. What a treat. Herbs. Mocha. Red fruit. Earth. Just about everything in here. Needs time to get to a 5.

Dominated notes of leather, oak, cigarr, vanilla, exotic spices and with some time in the glass it started to show more dark fruit. Too young obviously but already very complex and the potential is huge in this one.

This red is rich yet vibrant, dense yet graceful. Cherry and plum flavors are backed by forest floor, cedar, tobacco and mineral notes, supported by muscular, well-integrated tannins that give way to a spicy, slightly bitter finish. Complex and harmonious. Tinto Fino and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Flowery cedar blackcurrant nose, tobacco rich tannin of dark ripe fruits, nice dark chocolate end lingers on the palate. After breathing 45 mins, fruity currants give way to ripe rich vanilla on tongue.

Spectacular complex wine - a great way to finish a holiday traveling with family in Spain. Cherry, plum, leather, vanilla, tobacco, earthy notes, licorice. Drinking well at 13 years but still has a long way to go. @[1|30712744|Anne Nelson]

Third wine and the star to the Vega Sicilia dinner at home You can’t get this wine in a restaurant as it takes at least 5 hours to come to life changing the aromas every hour from barn to sulfur to nice dark fruits and keep going more complex His body is surprising and keeps the strong leather, oak, tobacco with some smoke background A real pleasure in the mouth an perfectly paired with age steak and pork 5J presa ibérica an amazing treat

Balanced, smooth with a very subtle early touch of fruit on the top. In a flash, turned silky and spread across the pallet like a warm brie.

What a treat to try this one for the first time ever. And it’s a fantastic wine. Very well aged and seems perfect now. Red and black berries seems to combine in this one alongside leather and tobacco and. Aged but still fruity. Fantastic🤩 not my photo - had at restaurant.

Cherry, vanilla, smooth with no tannins. An elegant wine that you can drink upon opening. The highlight of the day.

Make my day kind of wine. Unbelievable. From the Spanish Ribera del Duero region, predominantly Tempranillo. It has a certain freshness and has tones of raspberries, boysenberries, leather and cedar.
