Intense Cherry-red color with russet tones. Vivacious and shiny. On the nose it is ample and elegant. Notes good evolution in bottle, and predominance of spices and menthol notes. In the mouth, it is well structured, the tannic persistence is left aside to give way to the aromatic complexity in the mouth. Wine from robust origin and elegant present.
What the critics say...

1975 has always been one of Vega Sicilia s great vintages, and this tasting confirmed that the 1975 Unico Reserva has the potential to be one of this historic winery s finest offerings. The wine s beautiful, saturated, dense ruby/purple color is followed by a tight but rich nose of black and red fruits, spices, and toasty oak. Deep, with huge body and massive flavor extraction, this wine combines awesome power and richness with considerable structure and delineation. It appears to be a legendary Vega Sicilia in the making. Although enjoyable to drink now, it will not reach its plateau of maturity for 10-15 years; it will last for 30 or more years.
In 1864, Eloy Lecanda founded the winery that symbolizes the golden legend of Spanish red wine. Throughout its long history, it has belonged to different owners, although it has always maintained an unquestionable personality, making concentrated, mature, generous and extremely elegant. The... current stage began in 1982, when El Enebro S.A., a company owned by the Álvarez Mezquíriz family, acquired the winery and the vineyards from the Venezuelan businessman Miguel Neumann. From that year onwards, the family, with David Álvarez and his sons and daughters Pablo, Jesús David, María José, Emilio, Juan Carlos, Elvira and Marta, have developed a policy of harmonization of present innovative techniques required by the wine sector with the traditional winemaking process. The vineyard area has been extended and the vineyards and vines, which were almost half a century old, have been replanted in rotation.
