Let’s get one thing clear right away: this was more about checking in on the early days of a wine that has a history of lasting for decades. Having that out of the way, it’s fun to check in on great wines in their youth, when you get the opportunity. Splash decanted sometime before service, no formal notes. The 2016 “Unico” is already showing its quality with abundant, beautifully ripened fruit and effortless elegance. That being said, having some experience with properly aged Unico, the better days (to my palate) are well ahead. Drink now if you have multiple bottles and can’t help yourself. Give it some air at least. Otherwise, better after 2036 and through 2076, probably. — 3 days ago

Medium ruby in color; reductive when first opened, so I decided to let it breathe for about 30 minutes; chili peppers, black cherries, and plums on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like pomegranates, red currants, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie didn't like it. I think it's ok. — 2 years ago

Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it’s clean with pronounced primary aromas of black cherries, dried strawberries, and tobacco; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary flavors of red fruit roll-ups, blueberries, hibiscus, and tar with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie didn't like it. — 2 months ago

Tasted blind. Ruby reddish color, young-looking compared to other reds so far. Opaque. Notes of black fruit, mocha, some earth and a little bit of wood. Rich in the mouth. Given our earlier Rioja bottle, we go back to Spain with guesses. I guessed 90 Unico. This is the Valbueno blend, with grapes from 85/91/96. 94+ — 4 years ago

@Delectable Wine. The 2024 Unico Zelo Pastafarian is actually a 100% Claire Valley Sangiovese. Bright garnet color. Aromas of sour red berries, dusty earth, leather, espresso and a bit of funk that blows off quickly. Flavors of cranberries, red plums, dark roasted coffee, anise and red licorice. Medium-plus length, bright acidity and fine grained tannins. There is a bit of a carbonic maceration/natty vibe with this wine. Fresh tasting and lifted. Low (11%) ABV. A unique expression of Sangiovese. Interesting. — 2 months ago

The bottle describes this wine this way: “putting your feet up” And that’s exactly what it is. It strikes a brilliant balance of Welches juicy grape juice with actual thoughtful wine. Perfect for glugging and relaxing. — 6 years ago
