Fabulous lunch at La Flor de Tetuán in Santander with friends (10/10/2016). What a wine! Fresh complex nose with dark fruits, tropical wood, spices. This wine came after a great Unico 1961 but just blew that wine of the table, which has to mean something. I guessed it 25 years younger. This wines is all about perfect balance and combining power with silkiness. One of the best wines i had this year. Thanks to Parrocco for sharing this experience!

Fabulous lunch at La Flor de Tetuán in Santander with friends (10/10/2016). One of those forgotten 1960's Unico's but in my book a Unico that can easily compete with the 1964, 1966 and even 1962. Dark fruits, coffee and tabacco. expressive, complex and concentrated. A great Unico at the height of its plateau but with probably years of life ahead.

Fabulous lunch at La Flor de Tetuán in Santander with friends (10/10/2016). This wine is no lightweight. Although it initially did not give much on the nose, the sensation in the mouth was ever more so powerfull: saltiness, bright acidity,... complex wine with exotic fruits. Already quite nicely balanced but the oak is present. As others have noted this wine probably needs more time in the cellar.
