Decanted for one hour. After this still improving in glass for another hour, then declining. Tasted together with Pingus 2019.
Unico Beter aroma, better finish.
Pingus in my subjective opinion bit better taste.
Overall great wine at the 34 year. No signs of typical old wine.
Expressive, deep and obviously matured. Incredibly balanced and powerfull.

A cornucopia of fruits, but all understated. Good, and no bad notes, just lacking the depth and intensity that Unico typically provides.

Vega Sicilia Unico Dinner with Pablo Alvarez (Asador Bastian - Chicago IL): Corked. Odd to note that both bottles from a two bottle lot purchased from Zachys in 2016 were both corked.

Pre-Paulee Warm-up Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Alongside 1989. Brilliant to start, but started slowly fading in glass. One diner drinking from Zalto stems identified cork taint. So sad.

Pre La Paulée Dinner with friends (Home): 89-90 side-by-side. Sadly ever so slightly corked and only detectable in a Zalto stem. Other stems didn't reveal the cork taint.
