Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Jun 25
The 2000 Unico, a blend of 93% Tinto Fino and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, is very seductive aromatically, displaying wild strawberry tinged with eucalyptus, primal yet sensual. The oak that always cloaks Unico in its flush of youth is now assimilated. The palate is pliant, yet you immediately recognise that this millennial has plenty of gas in the tank. More blue fruit tinged with blood orange emerges towards the creamy-textured finish. Gorgeous, for sure, but personally, I would afford it several more years in bottle.
