  Tast Vinicia Lleida. Que puedo decir... Servido a ciegas, un gigante. El vino estaba bien vivo con el tiempo en copa y durante un par de horas fue ganando capas de complejidad. ¿Es pronto para decir el vino del año?

  Opened in HK. P&P and served blind.
  
  I thought this was an 80s Bordeaux, had no chance of guessing this correctly. Wow! '64 Único - beautfiul condition and though you could tell that this was an aged wine, it was still fresh and performing very well. Ever so slightly sloping downhill, and didn't have much longevity in the glass, but for the first half hour this was singing and still had fruit.
  
  Obviously wines of this age are a gamble, but I'm so glad this paid off. Thanks to E for sharing this beauty, what a privilege to try!

  End-of-Summer Dinner Featuring Vega-Sicilia Único (Asador Bastian - Chicago IL): In Unico flight. Layered and complex while wonderfully fresh for its age. The only bad thing I could say is that it is not as brilliant or deep as the 1970 in the next glass.

  Unbelievably youthful fruit richness and freshness while also wildly complex with layers of fresh and dried fruit, herbs, spice and emerging earth tones. An aroma to die for with a palate to match.

  What a wine! A combination of finesse and power in a package that can only be put together with the right elevage and the right amount of time.. I know it can be a risk to go for a bottle of this age without certain provenance, but man it can be worth it.. Unique indeed!!
  
  Plums and cherry in a sweet-and-tart mix, leather and spices, a hint of cigar leaf, incredible acidity and oh! so alive and talkative. (It's been waiting all this time.. 😉)
