That is literally ALL we have of Vega Sicilia Único — Spain's most revered, most obsessively-aged, most globally celebrated wine — and we've slashed it to $295 BELOW the $650 retail price…MOVE FAST!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVEGA SICILIA. Say it out loud. Let it hang in the air for a second. The one and only…ÚNICO!!! In a world of exceptionally talented, deeply expressive Ribera del Duero reds — there really, truly, IS no other. No other wine from Spain commands the same reverence at auction, the same hushed awe in a restaurant cellar, the same space on the inventory list alongside Pétrus, DRC, and Screaming Eagle. When Vega Sicilia releases a vintage of Único — after at least an entire DECADE of patient, meticulous barrel and bottle aging — the wine world stops and pays its respects. Today, we have FORTY-FIVE bottles sitting in our warehouse at $355. That's a face-melting $295 BELOW the $650 retail price, and $116 BELOW the next best price you will find anywhere on the internet. FORTY-FIVE. BOTTLES.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'll be straight with you, and this does not happen often: this is one of those extremely rare offers where even YOUR faithful Last Bottle wine scribe never got within arm's reach of a cork. With 45 bottles between us and the most wine-obsessed community in the game — not a single drop was available for tasting purposes. And honestly? I wouldn't have had it any other way. For Vega Sicilia Único, I'll buy my one bottle allocation and happily sit on it for another decade. step aside and defer to the absolute royalty of the world's wine press. 97 POINTS, plus TRIPLE 96s, and sooooo much more. You and me are just gonna have to trust their notes…but C’MON…it’s VEGA SICILIA! If there is one sure thing, can’t miss, ride-or-die bottle in all of Spain…this is the ONE!!!! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf Vega Sicilia's magnificent 210-hectare estate — threaded through with 19 distinct soil types and 64 individual plots carved by centuries of the Douro River's influence — only 40 of those precious hectares produce the fruit for Único. The wines are fiercely collected, cellared, and locked away by estates, restaurants, auction houses, and the very luckiest individuals in the world. We’re STOKED to have gotten 45 bottles at such a baffling low price!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 vintage was born of climatic extremes: a blazing, bone-dry summer that pushed temps well past the century mark, followed by perfectly timed September rains that pulled everything back to ideal balance at the very last moment. The result? Deeply concentrated, silky, brilliantly defined — and built with the sort of structural integrity that is already gorgeous to drink right now, and capable of evolving in a proper cellar for another 40 to 60 years. FORTY TO SIXTY YEARS!!! That is not marketing. That is not hyperbole. That is Vega Sicilia Único.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFORTY-FIVE BOTTLES, good people. The greatest wine in Spain — and perhaps the world.
