4/24/2024 - habermas Likes this wine: 97 pointsUn vin vertigineux et encore plein de fraîcheur. Une grande complexité au niveau des aromes et une structure diabolique. Un très grand vin à pleine maturité. |

4/21/2024 - jhbehrens Likes this wine: 91 pointsClassical Tempranillo from American oak aromas. Powdery tannins. Not in a very exuberant phase. Keep for a few more years. |

4/19/2024 - the player Likes this wine: 95 pointsNumber three in a vertical of Unico with the 74 and 85 ahead if this beautiful 94. Deep crimson color, nose of candied berries and cherries, baking spice and pipe tobacco. Lots of red fruits on the palate, medium to full bodied, astounding finesse in the complex structure very round, finishes very long. Readier than the 89. |

4/16/2024 - Dibbs Likes this wine: 95 pointsFrom the looks of it, this is a very well-stored bottle filled to the top shoulder. I popped and poured the bottle, and from the first snip, there was incredible perfume on the bouquet, surpassing any Unico's I have tried in the past other than 1989. Compared to the older Bordeaux I have had, this has a lot more fruit on the nose and on the palate. It is red fruited not focussed on cedar or smoke like older Bordeaux would be at this stage. It took some time to put on weight in the glass. I drank it for over two hours, and it never seemed that it would fall over. It is a real treat and a testament to the age-ability and finesse that Unico can deliver. That being said, think this would probably have been at peak 10-15 years back. Very much look forward to trying my lone bottle of 1962. |

2007 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Valbuena 5°Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
4/13/2024 - GEL Wines Likes this wine: 93 pointsMuch better than my first bottle. At opening, vibrant plum and interesting bouquet. Some bricking, deep red, significant tears/legs. Decided not to decant beforehand. Decanted at moment of drinking which was fine. Complex, lightly stewed plum with some structure; very slight sweetness, possibly helped by 10% of merlot in assemblage. Like a top bordeaux with an iberian/tinto fino/tempranillo twist. Excellent. |

4/14/2024 - cdesbriere wrote: 91 pointsIt’s a solid wine but it’s not my favorite kind of wine. It’s pretty oaky even at 12 y of age, and not super complex. There is some nice aromas of dried herbs and red cherry and other red fruit, and of course some vanilla and coconut from the oak, but not so much more. It’s relatively long though, and certainly can age much longer. The tannins are still very present |

I double decanted before serving, but no decant time otherwise. It definitely improved in the glass, but never to greatness. Will hold the next bottle for 10 years to see… |

4/12/2024 - El Tino Likes this wine: 94 pointsWonderful wine. Day1, after 3hr decant: great structure, nose and a long finish, with a hint of tannic tartness. Countless notes on the nose (dark fruit, earth, meat/blood? Herbs) something maritime in among the brambly fruit, maybe seashell/ calcium. Day2: much more integrated and softer, with the tannin less present. I think the bloody and meaty notes are more like molasses today, a lovely background presence. Nose and palate now working in harmony. Maybe the lesson here is patience - decant the morning before the dinner? Just a thought |

4/8/2024 - Krokfjord Likes this wine: 92 pointsLuftet 3 t ca. Er det … Tommy the Cat? Lukter det propan? Javisst. Det bandet er en smakssak men når du drikker denne vinen bør du faktisk høre på Primus. Gassbrenneren slukker etter hvert. Igjen er en voldsom solbærfrukt, kraftig tobakk - men også trøffel og skogbunn som gir vinen en ekstra dimensjon. Voldsom kraft men også elegant i munnen. Utrolig at vinen bare har 5% cabernet sauvignon. Bedre om 20 år? Yes. Digg allerede? Yes. Glimrende vin |

4/5/2024 - acidqueen wrote: 96 pointsBrick red color with a clear rim. Decanted 30 minutes and it improved as we drank it during the meal. Sour cherry with woody notes although the wood toned down during the time we drank it. Sleek, smooth and pretty with great depth of flavor. This deserves a lighter meat dish like veal or pork or even duck with no spiciness. Very light bodied and delicate but with finesse. As I mentioned back in 2018 when I drank the last bottle, I expect this will hold here for many years but I don’t expect improvement. Lovely. |
