"Pablo Alvarez described 2004 as a textbook vintage
with perfect temperatures and rain just when it was needed.
The 2004 has a haunting bouquet of dark brambly black fruit,
cassis, honey, a tang of marmalade and bacon fat. It already
boasts an intense, burly bouquet that will require years to
soften. The palate is full-bodied with succulent, ripe,
intense black cherries, white pepper, minerals and liquorice
and it fans out beautifully towards the finish with
tar-tinged black fruit interlaced with black pepper. This is
a multi-dimensional Unico, more masculine and grander than
the 2005, perhaps the sibling of the 1994?"
Score: 97 Pts |

Brand
Vega Sicilia, situated in Ribera del Duero, has founded its
success on its meticulous wine-producing practices: In the
vineyard it applies low yields, aided by green harvesting,
and a painstaking grape selection. In the winery, wines
undertake a complicated series of rackings from huge barrels
to new and old oak. Despite the very prolonged barrel
ageing, e.g. the 1970 Unico has over 16 years, the wine
flavours are never dried out or overly oaky when mature,
which is compelling evidence of the superb quality of its
raw materials.
Unico is known as the 1st growth of Spain due to its
consistent high scores and standing in the global
marketplace, high above any other from Spain.

Investment Analysis
Less than 7,000 cases are produced annually, with the
vast majority of stock only available through an allocation
basis to a 5,000 long waiting-list and low availability on
the UK market. With that in mind, when an allocation becomes
available, it’s worth snapping up.
Vega Sicilia Unico is the only wine from Spain in the Liv-ex
Fine Wine 1000 index. It falls into the ROW 50 sub-index,
which has had the best sub-index performance over the last
two years, rising 16.5%. Vega Sicilia Unico 1995 has been
one of the biggest risers in the Liv-ex 1000 during this
period, climbing 37%. The 1995 is the only other vintage to
have scored 97 pts and currently trades for £3,500,
representing an increase of 85% on the 2004.
Comparable vintages, seen above are trading between 40-85%
higher than the 2004. Shown below, this vintage is currently
priced much closer to the level of significantly lower
scored vintages, averaged around 93 points.
