The NV Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial 2024 is a proprietary blend of Tinto Fino and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the 2010, 2011, and 2012 vintages. Produced by the prestigious Vega Sicilia estate in the Ribera del Duero region of Castilla y Leon, Spain, this red wine is a testament to meticulous winemaking and extended aging practices. The wine undergoes ten years of aging in wood followed by four years in the bottle, resulting in a complex, well-rounded profile.

James Suckling gives this wine a score of 97, describing it as having aromas of "dried rose petals, sandalwood, cloves, balsamico, leather, and dried flowers" with dark fruit elements. He mentions its "tight and structured" nature and a "racy and intense finish," recommending it for drinking now or holding for future enjoyment.

Vinous reviewer Joaquín Hidalgo rates it at 96, noting its dark garnet-red color and complex aromas of "dark fruit, undergrowth, herbs, pitch, and tar" with a cedar backdrop. He finds the palate to be "dry and velvety with a juicy, mellow character," revitalized by a "refreshing gust of pine."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, through reviewer LG, awards the wine an impressive 98 points. LG highlights its evolution with "a faint orange around the rim" and a nose that is "complex and elegant" with hints of truffle, forest floor, ripe black fruit, sweet spices, leather, and meat. The palate is described as "quite polished" with a "superb texture, sleek and elegant" and very fine tannins.

Wine Spectator's reviewer AN also scores it 97, praising its "lovely interplay between sweet and savory notes" and flavors of "black cherry compote, dark chocolate, dried raspberry, spiced orange peel, and vanilla." The wine is noted for its focus, structure, and equilibrium, with "dense tannins swathed in a plush texture" and an "expansive finish."

In summary, the NV Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial 2024 is a masterful blend with accolades from multiple top reviewers, each of whom highlight its complexity, elegance, and aging potential.
