Reviews & Scores
...contrast to the unrepresentative bottle of the 1996, the 1995 Único was showing very well at our tasting in New York, though it was still a young wine and in need of at least another decade to really start to drink with generosity. The cépages this year of the Único was eighty-five percent tempranillo and fifteen percent cabernet sauvignon. It spent its first twenty-two months in very large vats, then twenty-two months in new oak barrels, followed by twenty-eight months in 'one wine' cask and then back for its final two years in those large, twenty-two thousand liter vats. The wine offers up a ripe and promising bouquet of black raspberries, black cherries, cloves, cigar wrapper, a lovely base of soil and a nice framing of spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very long, with good, but not great concentration at the core, fine focus and grip and a refined and classy finish. This seems likely to end up a more elegant and middleweight vintage of Único, as the wine is not quite as packed in the mid-palate as the 1994, but there is plenty of complexity here and it will be a lovely wine in due course. Today, it has still not quite absorbed its serving of new oak completely and I would definitely give it more time in the cellar to do so, but as this Único is only twenty-five years of age, it is still a pretty young wine! - JG

Tannic, tightly wound Unico with lovely wood, roasted herbs and savoury spices. Great concentration with focus and firm tannins, and a long finish. Wait at least a decade to enjoy this wine. (JC) - DC

The 1995 Unico is a worthy successor to the profound 1994 (awarded a score of 98+ in Issue #159). Opaque purple in color, it has aromatic complexity which nearly defies words. There are notes of earth, licorice, hard wood charcoal, and black currants. Full-bodied, and powerful, the wine has beautiful balance with a multi-dimensional character and the structure to last for 25-40 years. (JM) - WA

Still fresh, this concentrated red delivers vibrant cherry and plum fruit, with expressive licorice, mineral and game notes. Thick and firm on the palate, yet remains harmonious through the spicy finish. (TM) - WS
