Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend

Now we are just getting silly. What a wine this must have been. Oozing with power still, fruit is Carmelized and very sweet, if not fresh. Very neat. The "great-grandfather"

This wine must have been flamboyant, he is retired today - think XIX century bastardo madeira

Almost like unfortified Madeira. Can't believe it's lasted this long. "Grandfather" not at his best moment but still show some respect ;-)

Old. But, impressive nonetheless.

Hemingway married Hadley right when this was bottle. More like a Madeira or piece of history.

Vega Sicilian 150th Anniversary lunch. 1921 a great insight to age ability of Unico.
