The 97 Point 2012 Vega Sicilia in Magnums - Great Price

We are delighted to offer a well-priced parcel of Spain’s most famous wine, Vega Sicilia Unico, in magnums and thought you might have interest. From the 2012 vintage, so, now armed with over a decade of maturity, this is a lovely Vega Sicilia in the making and a great wine to own in magnum format. 

Unico needs little introduction. The flagship of Vega Sicilia almost single-handedly put Spain on the fine wine map and is found in the finest restaurants and cellars. It’s always fantastic and has a consistent quality and capacity to age found in only the best wines on the planet.

The Unico is excellent. For Luis Gutierrez, it is worthy of 95 points, while James Suckling gives it 97 and says, I like the intensity to this, with dark tar and smoky notes followed by graphite, tobacco, bitter cacao and dark fruit”For Vega Sicilia collectors, it’s a compelling option.

Only 3,537 of these magnums were filled, do take a look and let us know if you would like to secure any:

28 mags (1*150cl OWC) @ £575 per magnum in bond
97 points James Suckling
I like the intensity to this, with dark tar and smoky notes followed by graphite, tobacco, bitter cacao and dark fruit. Powerful yet tight and compact, with firm and polished tannins. Structured and so long. Tasted from magnum. Try after 2023. (2022) www.jamessuckling.com
 
95 points Luiz Gutierrez
The 2012 Único from magnum showed less ripe tannins in the context of other vintages like 2014 or 2004, as the year was very warm and dry and the plants got blocked and the tannins didn’t ripen perfectly. There is a little more alcohol, and it’s powerful but will always have a bit of rusticity. 3,537 magnums were filled in June 2018. (2023) www.robertparker.com Drink 2024-2045
