Vega Sicilia Unico 2007

Red cherry, candied rose, cured tobacco and an iron-edged mineral note, the 2007 Unico announces itself with an almost Burgundian lift that sets it apart from the weightier Unico vintages. It's lighter and more floral in character, driven by bright acidity that keeps everything focused and clean through the mid-palate. Tannins are soft and late-arriving, offering quiet support rather than structure you'd notice. A cooler vintage success, honest about its limits, drink through 2035.
