PSI (Peter Sisseck Initiative?) is the wine of a group of producers brought together by Mr. Sisseck according to precise specifications: tempranillo plots at least 30 years old, necessarily biodynamically grown, gentle extractions, long macerations and maturing practically without wood. A superior fruity wine, fine and with a great tannic softness.
The 2021 vintage is rated 96/100 by Joaquin Hidalgo (Vinous) "This 2021 is a distinctive Ribera del Duero with excellent nuance and agility" (November 2023)

Bodega Vega Sicilia has become, through its age (founded in 1864) and the extraordinary quality of its wines, the emblematic estate of all wine-growing Spain, just like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti for Burgundy. Two wines are made in the purest Spanish tradition (matured for one year in casks, one year in new barrels and two years in old barrels): Valbuena and Único.
The famous Único, only produced in the great years, comes from the oldest vines 80% tempranillo and 20% merlot/cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon.The 2011 vintage in the press :
Vinous (J. Raynolds - June 2021): 96/100 "Deep, shimmering ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, vanilla, pipe tobacco, exotic spices, cola and potpourri. Deeply concentrated and energetic on the palate, offering smoke-laced black currant, cherry liqueyr, spicecake and mocha flavors that display outstanding clarity and pick up a candied violet nuance on the back half. Polished, steadily building tannins frame the finish, which hangs on with outstanding, mineral and floral-driven tenacity."
