I grilled another venison loin this weekend and a friend brought along a bottle of 2010 Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial which was a first for me. This is a blend of three vintages of Unico and in this case
1991, 1994, 1995. The wine was dark ruby with a effusive nose of cassis, black cherry and a whiff of smoke. A bit of time in the decanter before tasting. Smooth and rich on the palate. Creme de Cassis, blackberry, a bit of cedar and leather but the fruit was lush and opfront. Tasty with the venison. "B++"- posted
