Michael Broadbent

(1990)
Tasted over a decade apart and outstandingly the best: lovely fruit, refined, great depth, stylish. What was apparent, was that when first poured, the wine tended to be somewhat dumb and unyielding, but in every instance, particuarly with the 1964 and 1966, the bouquet gradually opened up and after an hour in the glass, was indescribably beautiful. To appreciate these wines, give them plenty of air, bot after decanting and then in the glass.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(2-1995)
The most Burgundian (that's great Burgundy, by the way) wine of the tasting, the 1966 Unico Reserva exhibits a huge, fragrant, penetrating bouquet of sweet, jammy, black-cherry fruit, cedar, smoke, and earth. The saturated, dark ruby color reveals a hint of amber at the edge. Full-bodied, succulent, and velvety, this gorgeously-proportioned, decadently-styled Vega Sicilia is fully mature, yet its balance, freshness, and thrilling level of flavor extraction suggest it should easily glide through 15-20 more years.
