Notas de Parker sobre la añada 2004

"Moving on to the big guns, the 2004 Unico is truly spectacular, in line with the 1970 and 1994. It´s a blend of 87% Tempranillo and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. Unico has a unique long aging, in the case of the 2004, 15 months in 20.000 liter vats, 25 month in new barrels, 17 months in used barrels and a further 26 months in the big oak vats. It has complex notes of tobacco, cedar wood and blackberries, and shows very good balance between power and elegance as well as perfect ripeness. It has a similar profile to the 1994, but there´s ten years difference in experience and technical knowledge. There is nuance; there is detail, fiigree, balance, harmony and complexity. There is a fine texture. In short, it is great, world-class wine, a superb vintage for Unico. 87.500 bottles, 2229 magnums, 150 double magnums and 5 Imperials were filled with this extraordinary wine. This is approachable now, but it´s a shame to drink so soon. It will age for a very long time, as it has the balance and harmony to do so, and it will develop more complexity with time. Drink 2016-2029. But if the single harvest Unico is fantastic, the multi-vintage blend could be even better as it also plays with the benefit of extra aging time.

 Notas de Cata de Peñín sobre la añada 2002: Color cereza intenso. Aroma fruta madura, tostado, chocolate, café aromático. Boca sabroso, especiado, taninos finos, fino amargor.

Otras puntuaciones: 18.5 / 20 MV sobre la añada 2004

"Ceniza de habano, cedro, cueros finos en una nariz compleja y elegante. Fruta, cuerpo, elegancia, largura: todo está reunido en este gran vino."
