The 1995 Unico is a worthy successor to the profound 1994 (awarded a score of 98+ in Issue #159). Opaque purple in colour, it has aromatic complexity which nearly defies words. There are notes of earth, liquorice, hard wood charcoal, and black currants. Full-bodied, and powerful, the wine has beautiful balance with a multi-dimensional character and the structure to last for 25-40 years. The 1960 and the 1965, drunk within the last several months, appear to have many more years ahead. Rating: 97 points; Jay Miller; Wine Advocate #169 (Feb 2007) Vega Sicilia Unico 1995 - Very different to the 94, a bit rounder and more open with loads of fruit and complexity. Dark fruit notes on the nose with old leather, spice, liquorice and some herby/floral notes. Very generous in the mouth, if a bit tannic at this stage. Dark berry fruit again in the mouth, with a bit of coffee/chocolate. Lacks some of the structure of the 94, but is still a great wine. 96 Points; Dave Worthington, http://www.tintoyblanco.com.au
