Rich, round and fat nose of vanilla, oak, citrus and some white flowers. Much more mineral on the palate than the nose would suggest. Wonderfully creamy mouth filling texture. Loved it.

Went back and forth on this one, but ended up believing it was slightly corked. Enjoyable, but not what it should have been.

This started out a little subdued and slightly funky, but over a couple hours kept getting better. My last sip was the best. Once it opened, elegant red fruit, dried roses, spice and a potpourri of other nuances on the nose. Fresh and lively on the palate with nice energy and grip on the finish. The complex delicacy of this wine was quite an intellectual experience.

Quite musty compared to the DRC, but improved after about an hour with soft fruit, though darker than the DRC. A bit of spice, but more damp earth and mushroom notes. More creamy with less grip on the finish.

Dark fruit, mushroom with a touch of spice on the nose. This carried through to the palate which was soft and elegant. Perfectly integrated with a nice sweetness. More spice and great detail. I really enjoyed this but it was missing an element of excitement I found in the other wines tonight.

Wonderfully forward nose of red and black fruit, spice and lovely floral component. All carried through to the extremely vibrant spicy palate with hints of mushrooms, wet stone and dried roses. Love the grip on the finish. I came back to this wine after a couple hours and it was much more subdued, but the first hour was exciting.

Absolutely massive compared to the prior to Burgs. This might as well have been a Kosta Browne. That said, huge forward and perfumed nose of ripe red fruit, loads of spice, background of dark fruit and mushroom notes. Ripe, dense and concentrated on the palate. The tannin was much more noticeable in comparison to the previous two wines. Very sexy and this will last a long time. Hope to try it again in 10 years.

Finally I get to have "that" bottle of Unico. Wow, amazing nose of mature red and black fruit, old cedar and burnt coffee component. This did not have quite the concentration on the palate as the 1960 or 1961 up next but the nose alone is worth buying this wine. Round and silky in the mouth.

Less expressive on the nose than the 1959 but still showing off great dark fruit, very slight cedar and coffee. More of the same on the palate which was fat in the middle, but fell off on the finish. Great silky texture.

Ok, this did it for me. I now love Unico. Absolutely stunning nose of dark fruit, coffee and cedar. Very forward and expressive with so much detail I got lost. Beautifully concentrated on the palate. Rich and layered with amazing symmetry and balance. Love the polished texture and a great example of power without weight. Really superb.

This seemed more advanced than the 1961, but exhibited a nice mix of similar flavors and textures, but they were not as precise as the other vintages. Delicious, but this had tough competition tonight.

Fully mature and open nose of dark fruit, earth, cigar and leather. More dark fruit and leather on the palate. Soft and elegant, but could stand up to a steak. Love the full and open texture. Graceful old wine.

Much more advanced than the other bottles. Not sure if it was the vintage or storage. Nice old dark fruit, coffee, smoke and touch of mint on the palate. Medium finish.

Open and forward nose of mature dark fruit, leather, graphite and cigar box. Touch of mint, amount other things on the palate. Incredibly elegant texture and detail that hit all corners of the tongue. I wish I had had this earlier in the evening because it was impossible to appreciate all of nuances at this point. Incredible wine.
