Power, depth and elegance, great balance by Vega Sicilia! Graphite, plum, cedar, black currant, jam note, espresso, tar, full body, black dried fruit long finish.

Dark red almost black; some barnyard in the nose, dark notes, hint of tobacco; sweet and pruney, good acidity to keep it together, rather masculine expression, slight hint of tannins and a bit dry ending, sweetness and volume take precedence and make it quite likeable

Still a bit tight, but really enjoyable an hour or two often opening. Great balance between dark fruit and some of the stronger, spicier notes. Drinking well but I would say it has plenty of room left to run.

Georgous. Still incredible present fruit, but also hints of tertiary notes. Shows very little signs of aging, guess still 5 years on its peak.

Too big a wine for me. Drank with and old cab and the experience was very similar,. Not a fan of the big Riberas.
