  Good acidity here, balance is beautiful, freshness surprising. No signs if age, really.

  This is a wonderful wine. At the age of 47, the colour is surreal, looking like a teenager. It has distinctive herbal and smoky characters. The wine is concentrated and yet gracefully elegant and balanced. The aromas are mostly tertiary. It is still at its peak and would stay there for another 10 - 20 years. Lucky for those who got this.

  Ok this is the famous Unico. I had it the first time and I have to admit that I was blown away by it‘s effortless balance and still fruity but sophisticated characteristics. Ribera at it’s best and bourgundian in style. I couldn’t believe it‘s age color is clear and youngish. There is enough acid to be an interesting food companion but would have enjoyed it as well as a solist. We decanted it for an hour or so and if you get the chance to get your fingers on it you should do so aswell as it benefit clearly of the extra airtime. Unbelievable!

  Loved it. Needed a while to open out so decanted to blow off the initial funk. Colour belied it’s age. Youthful looking and tasting yet smooth. Beautiful dark and red fruit. Cherries and Christmas cake fruit and spices. Superb.
