Descrizione
Unico è il grande vino di Vega Sicilia. Un rosso leggendario che tutti gli appassionati dovrebbero provare almeno una volta nella vita. Ideale per l'invecchiamento, che in condizioni ottimali può arrivare fino a 60 anni, mostra una complessità "infinita" ad ogni sorso, non a caso è uno dei vini con il più lungo invecchiamento al mondo. Il suo stile è caratterizzato da tre costanti immutabili: eleganza, fermezza e capacità di invecchiamento. Il 2013 è un'annata elegante, delicata, fresca, verticale, complessa, setosa e precisa. È quel vino paradossale che si gusta subito, ma che invecchiando in bottiglia diventa eterno. Qui presentato in formato da 1,5 litri con astuccio in legno.

Recensioni degli esperti
Inky garnet to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of blackberry and bittersweet chocolate. It simultaneously offers refinement and power on the palate, with plush tannins that increase in volume and drift away, while purple plum, Mission fig, mocha and star-anise flavors with a hint of mint tea gently ply the palate. Drink through 2043.
This has a polished and complex nose of poached plums, dark cherries, tea leaves, graphite, milk chocolate and a touch of caramel. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm yet creamy tannins. Caressing, seductive and ripe, but with underlying freshness. 97% tempranillo and 3% cabernet sauvignon. Tasted from magnum. The normal bottle will be released 2023 and the magnum in 2025. Try after 2023.
I had already tasted the 2013 Único from magnum in a vertical tasting of all the magnums ever produced and was quite impressed by it (and the still unreleased 2014 that should be available in 2024). 2013 saw a rainy harvest, and the wine is subtle, elegant and fresh, complex, silky and with precision. The wine matured in 225-liter barrels in an initial phase and then in 22,000-liter oak vats until it was bottled in June 2019. This year, the final blend was 97% Tinto Fino and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon with a little less alcohol, 14%, and a pH of 3.78 and 5.2 grams of acidity, fresh and balanced, more elegant and subtler. Único often transcends the character of the vintage and doesn't follow the norm in the region, and the 2013 is a good example of that. It was a very rainy and complicated vintage; they harvested quite quickly to avoid botrytis, and while other people waited for concentration, they did not, and their approach clearly paid back. It's aromatic and floral, less dense than the 2012, subtler, more expressive and more elegant. It's clean and fresh, tasty, with very fine tannins. It's a big surprise for the vintage and one of the finest Únicos in the last few years. 76,476 bottles, 3,658 magnums and some larger formats produced, the shortest crop since 2009. (Luis Gutiérrez)
This vintage of Único may not make very old bones, but it's a delight to drink now and will continue to evolve for at least another decade. Reflecting the cooler, wetter growing season in 2013, it's a graceful, perfumed, balsamic Tinto Fino with earth and tobacco leaf aromas, sweet, almost gamey fruit and a leafy undertone from 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. 2023-35.

Excepcional, mi num 1
Le ha pasado lo que a otras añadas, que inicialmente parecían normalitas y luego han resultado INCREIBLES. Un must have.
