A top vintage for Unico, and one to live forever, 04 is in an amazing spot, decadently layered and hedonistic with an impeccable balance of both power and elegance. The palate is expansive, silky and rich with melting tannins and massive length. A stellar Unico.

Very poised. Deep blue fruit with some strawberry and a plum undertow. Still young

After 90 minutes in the decanter, 04 Unico really comes alive and shows itself to be in a great spot, continuing to improve over the course of the night. A complex and layered bouquet of warm baked fruit, oak spice, saddle leather, mocha and dark chocolate waft from the glass. It’s elegant and seductive while at the same time powerful and intense. An incredible balance between the two. It expands on the palate with the silkiest of textures, soft tannins and a finish that goes on and on. A fantastic bottle with a stellar future.

Featured an earthy/dusty frame with red and blue fruit. Nice balanced finish. Some cedar/spice hints and a touch of citrus.

A lovely open nose with soft cherry and damson. Some vanilla. Beautifully balanced on the palate with great definition and slightly soured long finish. Settled and approachable.

Cranberry, plum, fig, red peppercorn, vanilla, baking spice, and a bit of Earth. M+ tannin, body, finish and complexity. Clove and minerality on the finish. Beautifully balanced and lots of layers of complexity.
