Vega Sicilia Unico Dinner with Pablo Alvarez (Betony): Savoury cured pork meats, dried florals, cinnamon baking spices. Blackberry still present. This is an excellent nose, but farther along than the '29. Shorter palate than '29 as well. One short jab of tart red berry fruit, then mostly tertiary.

A very unique flight of 1921, 1922, and 1924 Unico. These were in decent shape, but the fruit is fading. Essence of belt leather on the palate for the 21 and 22. The 24 was consensus favorite, and it showed well, retaining a fair amount of fruit. As with many old bottles, it was more intellectually interesting than hedonistic.
