About this vintage

Único Reserva Especial 2023 — A version with a more Atlantic, spicy character. An elegant, delicate palate with lively acidity that promises long ageing.

Tasting note

A blend of the warmest, sunniest vintages (2009, 2011 and 2012): the most hedonistic edition of the lot. Dense garnet ink. A lush nose of stewed plum and blackberry, fig, chocolate, sweet spices and noble toast. On the palate it is opulent, glyceric and enveloping, with fleshy tannins and a long, lush finish; more sensual than taut. For those who seek the generous side of the house. Enjoyable now, with room to age.

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.
