beautiful and precise. Fresh plummy fruit with floral edges and a hint of vanilla. Clear and long. Profound.

Great balance. A brooding dark fruit with a salinity and sour cherry, dark plum, a bit of iodine and iron. Excellent

Off on the nose. Heat damaged? A bit cooked. What a shame as the few times I’ve had this in the past it’s been a stunner

Very dark. Blackcurrant, Asian spice, blueberry, depth. Gorgeous fruit. Hints of licorice and mint. A gamey quality and real length and complexity. This is a wonderful bottle. Wow.

A 1968 with phenomenal color and youthful richness, still has many years ahead. Great nose of crushed rocks, tar and sweet smoke, in the mouth it feels silky, pommard-like, elegant, mineral, rose petal.

1968 Vega-Sicilian "Unico" I have not tasted many wines from Ribera that are of this age. For my birth year - 1968 - I have spent most of my celebrations tasting Rioja - 1968 is a fantastic Rioja vintage. I estimated at 68 would also be fantastic for Ribera (at $300 plus per bottle this was a big bet). The color is spectacular at 46 years; this particular bottle was in exceptional condition. The nose is detailed with bouquet of mediterranean olive, peppercorn, smoked ham and baking spices. A time capsule. In Rioja the wines finish with wonderful seems of acidity, stone, winemaking style and terroir - in this Ribera the wine does not finish with the same punctuation but finishes with an elegance and refinement that speaks to the greatness of this wine but was probably better a decade ago. 91-points for this bottle.
