1998 Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva | 750ml

The 1998 Vega Sicilia Único Gran Reserva is a profound and meticulously aged masterpiece from Spain’s most legendary winery. Crafted from an exceptional vintage in Ribera del Duero, this Único spent many years maturing in a combination of barrels and bottle before release, developing unparalleled depth, balance, and harmony—qualities that define the greatest expressions from Vega Sicilia.

The wine opens with an extraordinary aromatic profile of black cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, balsamic notes, roasted coffee, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is powerful yet remarkably refined, carrying silky tannins and beautifully evolved fruit lifted by earthy minerality and hints of leather, cocoa, and warm herbs. The finish is long, layered, and endlessly expressive, confirming why Único remains one of the world’s most collectible and age-worthy red wines.

After more than two decades, the 1998 Único has entered a spectacular drinking window while still offering decades of life ahead. It is a quintessential collector bottle—rare, commanding, and representing the pinnacle of Spanish winemaking tradition.
