A blend of three Unico vintages (1991-94-98) and a very rare and most original wine, obtained by mixing 42 select barriques of Unico, one that incarnates the true tradition of Spain and the Bodega. This is a wine that stimulates the senses and sentiments, a coupage of the best barriques from the chosen vintages and the time spent in wood would be unthinkable for any other wine. The color is a bright, luminous and quite concentrated red. The spices in the bouquet have an intensity that is hyperbolic as are all the nuances and the other aromas that need concentration and focus to identity and thus this is best taste this away from any contamination with food. This is a wine that shouts its intensity and yet whispers its extraordinary details. The balsamic element and intensity here are surprisingly superior to a normal Unico. A wine certain to last over 100 years.
