The 1999 Unico delivers an ethereal bouquet of smoke, pencil lead, violets, leather, incense, black cherry, and blackberry. Already complex on the palate thanks to its lengthy upbringing, this opulent wine has layers of black fruit flavor, impeccable balance, and another twenty years of life ahead.
The colour is very dark, almost black. This wine is still a bit closed. It needs time to express all of its potentiel. But we can't deny its class, complexity and the different aromatic palettes. It can be drunk now with the condition that it is sufficiently decanted, a long time in advance...or wait several years or decades to let it evolve at peace in your cellar.
