1975 Unico | MG

The 1975 Unico (magnum) is a bit forward, especially in its aromatics, but not at all unpleasant in this context, given how youthful the 1982 and 1990 are! Still holding on to considerable depth in its fruit, the 1975 offers up an intriguing array of black cherry, plum, smoke and molasses.

This has an elegant array of blackberries, figs, peppercorns, iodine and bay leaves. It’s sleek with well-integrated tannins and medium body. Attractive, subtle leafiness. Refined and so fresh. 70% tempranillo, 15% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 5% malbec and albillo. Tasted from magnum. Drink now or hold. (09/2022)

Even if sometimes the 1975 can show a little herbal, the magnum of 1975 Único that I tasted showed quite well, still lively and with good concentration. At the time, the blend contained quite a high percentage of Bordeaux grapes and a little white, 70% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% between Malbec and Albillo Mayor, with an élevage of 10 years in oak containers of different sizes and ages. The resulting wine has 13.5% alcohol. 44,750 bottles and 2,000 magnums produced. Artwork by Rosalía Campo.
