Reviews & Scores
The 1998 Único is one of the great modern classics at this fine estate. The wine includes just a touch more cabernet sauvignon in the blend than its more recent compatriots, with eight percent of this varietal complementing the ninety-two percent of tempranillo. At twenty-two years of age the wine is really starting to just sneak into its plateau of proper drinking, but has decades and decades and decades of life still ahead of it. The bouquet soars from the glass in a brilliant blend of plums, black cherries, eucalyptus, a gorgeous base of soil, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, a suave framing of new oak and the first presage of the blood orange to come with extended bottle aging. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, full-bodied and very, very long, with a great core of fruit, lovely soil signature, moderate tannins and a long, gorgeously complex and vibrant finish. This is an impeccably balanced, great vintage of Único! (Drink between 2025-2100).

Youthful nose with primary fruit and sweet oak, the palate reveals the wine’s incredible intensity and depth. Great potential to age beautifully.
DC97February 2014
The 1998 Unico is purple-colored with a complex bouquet of wood smoke, violets, Asian spices, mineral, blueberry, and assorted black fruits. This is followed by a full-bodied, dense, loaded wine with gobs of sweet fruit, great concentration, and layers of flavor. It will continue to evolve for another 5-7 years and drink well through 2040+.
