Unico 2007
CRITIC REVIEWS
Sarah Jane Evans MW
Bold, with earthy, meaty and floral aromas. Intense, balsamic palate, the alcohol seems more apparent here. Powerful and spicy with a concentrated finish. Say Vega Sicilia’s notes: ‘it is not a famous vintage, but it is one that identifies the region and style of the house. It is, in one word, elegant.’ It certainly is true to its terroir, though I might argue with the word elegant at present. Warm spring, ‘abnormally cold’ summer; technical director Gonzalo Iturriaga calls it a really complicated year. One and a half years in new oak barrels, one year in used barrels and about two and a half years in large-format tanks. 74,975 bottles, 3,107 magnums, 156 double magnums and 11 Imperials. Tasted from magnum.

The 2007 Único from magnum showed much better than expected, as 2007 was very challenging. The wine showed concentrated and quite tannic, from a powerful year with 14.5% alcohol after a rainy season and an unusually cold summer. It was produced with Tinto Fino and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 3,107 magnums produced. Artwork by Francisco Javier RodrÃguez Quesada.
