Vega Sicilia Unico 2011 (750ml)


 

JS98 - James Suckling

Very ripe with plum, spice and dried-flower aromas, as well as chocolate, fresh flowers and sandalwood. Coffee and hints of meat. Sort of decadent. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and an intense, juicy feel. Unique cedar and walnut undertones. So delicious now, but one for the future, too. (JS)

非常成熟，帶有李子、香料和乾花的香氣，以及巧克力、鮮花和檀香。咖啡和肉味。有點頹廢。酒體飽滿，單寧圓潤柔滑，口感濃郁多汁。獨特的雪松和胡桃木色調。現在很好吃，但也適合未來。 (JS)

The Unico released in 2021, 10 years after the harvest, is the 2011 Unico, selected from 40 of their 210 hectares of vineyards. 2011 is a concentrated and ripe vintage, and they selected 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that were cooled in a cold room for 24 hours before being sorted; the bunches and grapes macerated at 9 to 10 degrees Celsius for three to four days, and then it was inoculated with a pied de cuve to ferment with pumping overs. Malolactic was in stainless steel, and the wine was put through a long aging, 10 years between oak and bottle, using new and used French and American oak barrels and 20,000-liter oak vats. For Vega Sicilia, 2011 was a fresher year than 2010, not the common idea about those vintages in Ribera del Duero. The wine has a developed nose with some notes of ripe black fruit, meat and underbrush, somewhat herbal and perfumed. There is something about the nose of the Únicos that I cannot quite describe but is quite distinct, and it's in this vintage and also in the Reserva Especial. (LG)

Unico 於 2021 年發布，即收穫 10 年後，是 2011 Unico，從其 210 公頃葡萄園中的 40 公頃中挑選出來。 2011年是一個濃縮成熟的年份，他們選用了95%的Tinto Fino（丹魄）和5%的赤霞珠，在冷庫中冷卻24小時後進行分選；葡萄串和葡萄在 9 到 10 攝氏度的溫度下浸漬三到四天，然後用染色的 de cuve 接種，抽水發酵。蘋果乳酸採用不銹鋼製成，葡萄酒在橡木桶和瓶裝之間經過 10 年的長時間陳釀，使用新舊法國和美國橡木桶以及 20,000 升橡木桶。對於 Vega Sicilia 來說，2011 年比 2010 年更新鮮，這與 Ribera del Duero 的那些年份不同。這款酒具有發達的香氣，帶有一些成熟的黑色水果、肉類和灌木的香氣，有些草本和香味。我無法完全描述 Únicos 的鼻子，但它非常獨特，它在這個年份和 Reserva Especial 中。 (LG)

在維嘉西西里酒莊(Vega Sicilia)的擁有者Alvarez家族買下了破產的Bodegas Liceo酒莊後，便創立了阿里昂酒莊(Bodegas y VinedosAlion)。而Alvarez家族一開始創立阿里昂酒莊的目的是為了不要使業者間的競爭逐漸擴大；而阿里昂酒莊也不負所託的完成了這項任務。為了達成這項使命，他們首先將酒莊重新整修而且把先前酒廠的庫存全部出清，接下來並任用傳說中的釀酒大師Mariano Garcia來指揮酒莊的釀酒作業，在大師的真知灼見下，阿里昂酒莊打開了屬於自己的榮譽名聲。

在Alvarez家族的堅持下，阿里昂酒莊所生產的葡萄酒皆為品質優良的極品佳釀，而獲選為Wine Spectator年度百大最佳葡萄酒更成為品質保證的最佳背書。

After the bankrupt Bodegas Liceo winery was purchased by the Alvarez family, owner of Vega Sicilia, Bodegas y Vinedos Alion was founded. The Alvarez family started the creation of the Arion winery in order not to expand the competition among the operators; and the Arion winery did not undertake the task. In order to achieve this mission, they first refurbished the winery and cleared all the inventory of the previous winery, and then used the legendary wine master Mariano Garcia to direct the winery's winemaking operations. Under the master's insight, Ali Ang Chateau opened its own honorary reputation.

Under the insistence of the Alvarez family, the wines produced by the Arion winery are the best quality wines, and the wines selected as Wine Spectator's top 100 best wines are the best endorsements of quality assurance.
