Único 2008 — An excellent, extended harvest with very balanced ripening. Fresh, structured wines with a classic profile.
An excellent vintage with very balanced ripening, producing a classic-style Único. Mature garnet with a brick rim. A fully tertiary nose of cherry liqueur, fine leather, tobacco, cedar and dried flowers, of great finesse. On the palate it is proportioned and silky, with resolved tannins, still-lively acidity and a long, noble finish. Elegance and classicism over power; in a splendid moment.
More than ten years from harvest to release: six in oak barrels (new and used) and three to four in bottle.
Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) around 95% and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Noble red meats (aged beef, oxtail, big game), black truffle, squab and great aged cheeses.
16–18 °C. Long decanting —at least two hours— for wines with medium ageing; double decanting recommended for older vintages.
