This is glorious. Rich, velvety, black cherry. Really intense but balanced and delicious. This goes and goes, just spectacular in quality

Deep fruit. Plum and tobacco. Soft and rounded. Gorgeous velvety texture and really long. This is in great shape still.

Still youthful, ruby color, good acidity and tannins. Very balanced. Magnum bottle.

Wow, still so fresh and young. Smoke, leather potting soil, decaying cherries. Poured from magnum.

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.
