Unico 2016 is a fragrant, understated and elegant expression of its vintage. The nose reveals a complex character that blossoms in the glass, gradually unfolding its subtleties.\u003cbr\u003eThe Vintage 2016 began with light frosts and a mild winter. A cool spring delayed budbreak.\u003cbr\u003eIntense August heat slowed vine growth until cooler nights arrived.

Notes of black tea, leather and earth appear with remarkable purity and precision, framed by hints of cedar and a graceful aromatic lift. The palate is unexpectedly delicate, showing integrated and delicate tannins with subtle spice touches of clove and sandalwood, adding nuance. While 2014 and 2015 were warm years, 2016 was not cool but was certainly less warm, resulting in a wine that is slightly less concentrated, more refined and with a thread of primary brightness still intact. Shades of black cherry and cassis mingle with a distinctive pine-forest freshness, and the oak – expertly integrated – acts in a supporting role. It feels like a quiet evolution for Único: less overtly oaky, more transparent, and carrying a sense of purity that elevates the estate’s signature character rather than shifting it. A wine that will bring immense pride to collectors and admirers alike'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col icon\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Country\" data-content=\"The Country of origin.\" data-placement=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"las la-globe\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col icon\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Alcohol ABV\" data-content=\"Alcohol by volume percentage.\" data-placement=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"las la-percentage\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003eABV\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col icon\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Region\" data-content=\"The Region of origin.\" data-placement=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"las la-map-marker\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col region\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRibera del Duero\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col icon\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Grape Varieties\" data-content=\"Variety is used to refer to different types of grapes.\" data-placement=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"lab la-canadian-maple-leaf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col icon\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Vivino Rating\" data-content=\"Vivino uses a 5-star rating system in which users can rate wines 1 through 5 stars.\" data-placement=\"top\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"lar la-star\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003eVivino Rating:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.7\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgewine.com\/shop\/products\/wine\/red-wine\/vega-sicilia-unico-2016.html#\" data-trigger=\"hover\" data-toggle=\"popover\" title=\"Producer\" data-content=\"A wine producer is a person or company that makes, bottles, distributes, or otherwise markets wine.
