Strong ruby with a discreetly lightened rim. On the nose dark berries, fresh cherry, delicate notes of seltzer and a touch of rosehip. All this with clear roasted notes underlaid. On the palate at first an elegant roast aroma. Seems complex and has sweetish berry fruit. Really powerful, enormous length and has considerable ageing potential.

Perhaps the greatest Único in recent history: deep ruby, subtle watery rim. Dark berries, fresh cherries, subtle notes of selenium, a hint of rose hips with clear roasted notes. Still characterised by strong roasted aromas on the palate, complex and endowed with sweet fruit, a real powerhouse, shows enormous length, definitely still needs its time, pleasant chocolate finish. (age 40+ years).
