"The 2014 Único is the second wine in a row from a cooler, so-called Atlantic year, although
the harvest was considerably less wet than 2013. Sourced from the best 40 hectares on the
Vega Sicilia estate, covering a total of 30 parcels, this is a stunningly floral, complete, layered
Tinto Fino with lily, wild rose and mountain herb aromas, subtle French and 25% American
oak, some added backbone from 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a palate of bramble, black
cherry, Asian spices and tobacco embellished and freshened by a bright, chalky finish.
