Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend

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)

Rich and aromatic. Violets, caramel, intense blackcurrant and insense. Really deep fruit, leather, iron, garrigue. What a bottle!

One of the most complex bottles of Unico I've ever tasted. Incredible layers of tobacco, tea, jamon, smoke - etc. truly amazing wine!

A slightly odd roasted toffee/ off note. Very deep and intense. A soured tart note, deep blue berries. Very powerful considering the age. Very good, but I'll leave in glass and maybe it'll punch through.... after about an hour in glass the odd note at the front softened a lot but didn't quite disappear. A lovely intense and structured wine
