AROMA      
Discrete on the first nose, aromas of fresh fruits mixed with fine wood hints that will blend with time. With a lot of potential, timid for the moment but with time will develop splendid.
AFTERTASTE
powerful entrance, important presence on the palate with a long, tannic mineral finish. Complex and persistent, showing in this great vintage the nobility of its terrior.
   

Get inside the legends heart

The wines from Vega Sicilia are truly remarkable with enormous complexity and richness. The soft velvet texture, and mature flavours of black fruit and leather are absolutely unique.
If this jewel of the Ribera del Duero is missing from your cellar then it´s time to make amends!
