Robert Parker: 94 Points
Wine Advocate #136 Aug 2001 Robert Parker 94 Drink: 2004 - 2026 $316-$524 (175) The newest Unico Reserva Especiale is the 1990. For a Unico, it exhibits a relatively unevolved style. A deep opaque plum/garnet color is accompanied by noticeable sweet toasty oak in the nose along with copious quantities of black cherry and cassis fruit. Extremely youthful, vigorous, and full-bodied, with notes of over-ripeness, low acidity, moderately high tannin, and a full-bodied, layered, concentrated personality. Give it another 3-4 years of cellaring; it should last for 25 years. Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
