Description
V22 correspond à "Venta 2022", c'est à dire l'assemblage réalisé pour la nouvelle mise en marché de l’année 2022. Le domaine a donc réalisé un assemblage unique de trois grands millésimes, ici 2008, 2010 et 2011, dont la répartition exacte de chacun reste un secret.
Le nez envoûte par son intensité, sa profondeur et sa sensualité. Le palais offre un velouté juteux et mûr pour une caresse épicée grandiose. Douce évolution qui démontre une grande complexité et un potentiel énorme…
Suggestion gourmande
Cocido de bœuf aux haricots, pois chiches au chorizo.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
Sweet-berry, walnut, licorice and violet aromas that follow through to a full body with round, chewy tannins that are polished and beautiful. Notes of iron, too. The tannins are broad and mouth filling, giving a caressing and exciting texture on the palate. If you give this a year to two to soften, it will deliver even greater richness and flavor. A blend of 2008, 2010 and 2011. Great after 2023. (2/3/22)
The Wine Advocate
The NV Único Reserva Especial 2022 Release is a blend of wines from 2008, 2010 and 2011, mostly Tinto Fino with some Cabernet Sauvignon mixing lots from the Único wines from those years. In the past, the blend was older vintages, but now it's wines that are around the same age as the Único. It has the complexity of mixing terroirs, vintages and grapes with parameters very similar to Único, 14.5% alcohol and good balance with a pH of 3.83 and 5.4 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid per liter). In the blend, they look for keeping the style of past blends, combining the more aged notes of the older wines and the freshness of the younger ones. I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of this Reserva Especial, which seems to be going back to the character of the blends from yesteryear, with more finesse, elegance and nuance. This is perfumed, elegant, harmonious and balanced. It has very fine, already polished tannins and integrated acidity. 2008 and 2010 are cooler years, and they seem to give the blend this freshness and elegance. It has all the components, and especially the balance between all of them, to age nicely in bottle. 16,961 bottles and 201 magnums were filled in June 2018. Drink: 2023-2040.

(95% tinto fino, 5% cabernet sauvignon). Colour: cherry, garnet rim. Nose: balanced, complex, ripe fruit, spicy, fine reductive notes. Palate: good structure, flavourful, round tannins, balanced, great length.
Tim Atkin
(14.5%) Vega's Reserva Especial is surely the only world-class unfortified red that's a blend of vintages - 2008, 2010 and 2011 in this instance. Made from Tinto Fino and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s the result of long and harmonious slumber in large wooden foudres after previous ageing in smaller barrels. Structured, complex and elegant, with hints of tobacco leaf and balsam, a sprinkling of sweet baking spices, focused acidity and palate-caressing tannins. Perfection. 2022-35. (2021)
