85 Unico

1985 Vega-Sicilia Unico;
Deep ruby, brick rim, lots of sediments. A level fill, cork 2/3 soaked. Liquorice, dark fruits, leather, complex but a bit vague, it doesn't lack in concentration either, it's just always drifting away as you try to reach for something. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, lingering, elegant, complex, a lot is always going on, but very elusive, long length. 90
