Tasted blind. Dark reddish tawny. Mostly translucent. Amazing nose. Powerful. A spectrum of notes including red fruit, cola, pencil lead, black truffles, coffee, blood sausage and some dry dark soil. Animalistic. Massive fruit and structure with a long finish. Someone says "honey ham" as a note in the nose and we all agree (first ever note involving the word "ham"). This was a wine where everyone's score or appreciation greatly improved over the evening. A best ever Unico for me. (M's 60th bday 4th of 14)

Vibrant red and black fruit, sandalwood, clove and cigar smoke. Licorice on the palate. Fine and seamlessly integrated. Wonderful.

Jan 1st, 2021This started off a little awkward but with time in decanter filled out and became really good. Some dark fruit. Quite savory with iron, brambles, some fresh herbal notes and a brooding chave-like minerality. Wood fully resolved and a slightly tart Sour cherry note. With time in decanter this becomes more and more fleshed out and integrated. By the end lovely and poised. Quite cold-blooded but with really pure fruit. Quite light and translucent for an Unico.., almost burg like in character. Really lovely savory, lean intense stuff.
