About this vintage

Único Reserva Especial 2021 — The classic house profile, with cedar, sweet spices and polished tannins. An aromatic complexity very typical of Reserva Especial.

Tasting note

The same trio of harvests as the previous edition (2008–2010) but a different selection of barrels, the 59 chosen: somewhat more floral and vertical. Translucent garnet. Aromas of ripe cherry, dried petals, liquorice, cedar and an incense background, in a higher, more perfumed register than the 2020. The palate is fine and long, with very polished tannins and acidity that stretches the finish; less weight, more filigree. An edition for detail lovers; drink it without hurry.

Ageing

Each base vintage is aged for more than ten years separately; Vega Sicilia then blends the three harvests and the wine continues to mature before release.

Grapes

Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of three selected vintages.

Food pairing

Big game dishes, black truffle, dry-aged grass-fed beef and aged sheep's or cow's cheeses.

Serving

16–18 °C. Long decanting, ideally double decanting.
