(Vega Sicilia "Unico") This was a stunner. Nose of cherries, earth, charcoal, wood burning-oven (like that smell when you walk into Gramercy Tavern) and loads of minerals. Very complex. The palate had incredible concentration of sweet cherry fruit and tremendous depth. Long finish that went on forever. Great Unico and blew away the '90 which was my benchmark (and only!) Unico until this.
