{"product_id":"vega-sicilia-unico-1972","title":"Vega Sicilia Unico 1972","description":"Vega Sicilia Único 1972 is a mature Tempranillo-based red wine produced in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Vega Sicilia was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who established the vineyards with cuttings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec taken from the vineyards of Bordeaux. The estate planted Tempranillo alongside these Bordelais varietals, which now makes up the majority of the modern Vega Sicilia blend. The flagship wines are Único and Único Reserva Especial – the former is aged for 10 years before release while the latter is a blend of only the finest vintages. On the 1972 Único. \"The 1972 Unico has a roof tile-scented bouquet that opens nicely, somewhat reluctantly giving up rose petals, dried orange peel, kirsch and toffee. It has fine definition and shows a little precocity than the 1973. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, decayed tannins. There is plenty of leathery red fruit infused with white pepper, cured meat and citrus peel. The finish is almost like a more muted version of the 1982. The -72 has good pedigree and breeding, yet it is a little conservative and aloof.\" Neal Martin, 2012","brand":"Vega Sicilia","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62418404344138,"sku":"HED73918","price":800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED73918.jpg?v=1781909006","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/vega-sicilia-unico-1972","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
