1962 Vega Sicilia Unico. Most interesting wine of the tasting. Started out with classic earth, funk notes. Decanted abt an hour before pouring. In the glass, abt 2 hours into dinner, wine took on coffee, toffee, butter notes. Great body.

1962 Vega Sicilia. Decanted for an hour before first sip and it was still very tight. Opened up a lot through the night. Note it was optimal for one hour decanting and one hour of drinking. Got flabby around the 2 hour mark. Amazingly youthful, with bright fresh fruit though, before that.

Wonderfully deep fruit but softened. Great depth, an iodine freshness then a real pretty long finish. Loads of detail and layers of soft fruit. What settled gorgeousness- this is special

Dare I say that this wine is still young. Great deep red color. Great integration of soil and fruit. Seamless.
