Description
There’s something about Único… it is a wine that is never as expected, taking an appreciation of terroir to an entirely different level. The 2010 already evidences some notes of maturity on the rim with intense aromas of spice, cured meat and leather coming through alongside the concentrated macerated strawberry and tart blackberry character on the palate. These complex notes draw initial comparisons with 2006 and expectations of a richer core – yet upon tasting, this phoenix’s true colours are revealed.
The wine is incredible, with a superbly focused, breathtaking mineral core. It sings on the palate, with a crystalline minerality that generates an exuberant, lifted sensation of light and air when you taste and which lasts and lasts on the long, endless finish. Winemaker Gonzalo Iturriaga de Juan would describe this as Único’s unique terroir shining through. This is a joyful, fresh, light-on-its feet and utterly beautiful Único.
