About this vintage

Único Reserva Especial 2022 — A Reserva Especial of notable concentration, ripe black fruit and fine toast. Great balance between power and refinement.

Tasting note

2011 enters the blend (alongside 2008 and 2010) and the muscle shows. Intense, deep garnet. The nose gains body and darkness —candied black fruit, leather, cocoa, pepper and balsamic notes— over the classic background of the older vintages. A broader, more powerful palate than previous editions, with dense but tamed tannins and a warm, savoury, persistent finish. The Reserva Especial in a robust version; it calls for big meats and a generous glass.

Ageing

Each base vintage is aged for more than ten years separately; Vega Sicilia then blends the three harvests and the wine continues to mature before release.

Grapes

Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of three selected vintages.

Food pairing

Big game dishes, black truffle, dry-aged grass-fed beef and aged sheep's or cow's cheeses.

Serving

16–18 °C. Long decanting, ideally double decanting.
