Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 1989

9.6

A delicious '89 for my friend on her 25th! Fragrant nose of dark cherries, licorice and floral notes. A full bodied, amazingly textured and elegant wine with impeccable concentration. Spice, burnt oak, black currant, cedar and earth. Such a fresh, vivacious 20 something. — 11 years ago

You are the Unico Master. Where does this rank in your pantheon?

I'd say No. 3. My favorite was the '81 but I had an Especial bottling combining the '91, '94 and '95 a few years ago. It was spectacular. It never disappoints. It went perfectly with dry aged NY at Stake restaurant in Coronado....which I highly recommend btw.

This beautiful 2005 cab was an anniversary gift from a great friend of mine @Jeff Savigny The vintage is the year we got married. The nose is so complex and yet so subdued, it practically blew my mind. A nose full of roses, tobacco, dark fruit and licorice with a hint of molasses and vanilla. On the palate very dry, with a faint aged acidity, yet very rich and delicious. You can spend just as much time smelling this as drinking it. This was a near perfect wine and a great anniversary present! — 11 years ago
