2009 , Vega-Sicilia Unico

Appearance: Deep, garnet color with hints of amber along the rim, indicating its maturity and refinement. A well-crafted wine with a rich visual appeal.

Aroma: Complex, offering layers of black cherry, ripe plums, and cassis, intertwined with nuances of tobacco, leather, and cedar. As it opens up, secondary aromas of spice, vanilla, and a subtle hint of oak emerge.

Palate: Perfect balance between structure and elegance. The texture is silky, almost velvety, with a full-bodied profile that carries flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and spice. Tannins are polished and well-integrated, contributing to the wine's depth and long, persistent finish.

Cellaring Potential: This vintage has excellent aging potential. Already showing splendid maturity, it could continue to develop and evolve gracefully in the bottle for another decade or more, promising further complexity and enrichment.

Serving Temperature: Best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F) 

Food Pairings: pair it with prime cuts of red meat like a ribeye steak or lamb chops, hearty stews, or mature cheeses such as Manchego or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
