Tasting Notes: Unico Reserva Especial is a non-vintage super-blend, assembled from the best lots of the very best years. It is a blend of three or four different vintages, and the average age of the wines used is usually at least 30 years old. The 2009 release of the Non-Vintage Unico Reserva Especial is a blend of the 1990, 1994, and 1996 vintages. “Dark ruby in color, it delivers a super-fragrant aromatic array of cigar box, leather, mineral, truffle, incense, and blackberry. On the palate it is mouth filling, complex, and remarkably light on its feet for such a concentrated, powerful effort. Opulent, rich, and perfectly balanced, it will drink well for at least another 25 years.”
