The Story

Of the 1,000 hectares making up the Vega Sicilia estate, 210 are used for wine growing, and there are 19 soil-types divided for management purposes into 52 plots with very specific characteristics. The influence of the flow of the river Duero and the passage of time have been vital in forming these soils.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red, and looking clear and full. On the nose it is complex. The taste is round, fresh, full, elegant, and dry, warming, with high tannin, with silky tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with multi-dimensional structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has cherry, earthy, tobacco, toasty, pepper and smoky flavours. The finish is endless and flavorful. This wine is outstanding. I paid around 200-500€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years, decant at least 1h before tasting and this is a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
