At the heart of this collection lies an exceptional selection of Vega Sicilia Único.

For me, Único has always represented a particular understanding of time. It is a wine that cannot be hurried, whose identity has been shaped by patience, tradition and the conviction that greatness often requires waiting.

The presence of bottles from 1918 and 1923 is particularly striking. These wines were born in a world profoundly different from our own, at a time when the international reputation of Spanish fine wine was still taking shape. Their historical significance alone makes them fascinating.

But the collection also allows us to explore the evolution of Único through some of its most celebrated vintages, including 1948, 1953, 1962 and 1970.

Reading the tasting notes left by Serena Sutcliffe and José Peñín, one is reminded of the remarkable complexity that these wines can develop over time.

Sutcliffe’s description of the 1948 evokes an almost delicate aromatic world of anise, violets, sweet plums and roses. Her impressions of the 1953 suggest a different dimension, one of extraordinary richness and sensuality.

Yet it is perhaps the legendary 1962 that best illustrates the singular character of Único.

In her tasting notes, Sutcliffe describes a wine of remarkable freshness, with mineral nuances, walnuts, chocolate and peppermint, whose complexity reveals itself gradually. José Peñín, meanwhile, evokes spices, cocoa, tobacco and a beautifully velvety palate.

These descriptions are particularly meaningful because they show that the greatness of a mature wine is not simply measured by its longevity. It lies in its capacity to evolve, to reveal new dimensions and to preserve its identity across decades.

The collection includes Único 1962 in both bottle and magnum, offering a fascinating opportunity to encounter one of the estate’s most emblematic vintages.

Another remarkable chapter is represented by the Único Reserva Especial, a wine that embodies an almost philosophical approach to time. By bringing together wines from different outstanding vintages, Vega Sicilia creates something that transcends the expression of a single harvest.

Among the historic blends featured in the auction are combinations of 1965, 1967 and 1972, as well as 1973 and 1981. They remind us that time, in the hands of a great winemaker, can become an essential part of creation itself.

And then there is the extraordinary double magnum of Único 1994, numbered 137 of only 150 produced. Beyond its rarity, it represents another dimension of collecting: the pursuit of bottles that are exceptional not only for the wine they contain, but also for their format and history.
