A grand wine. Needs air, smells a touch reduced. Surprised by the assertive tannins. Hold on to this if you can. A luxury cuvée for sure. Kind of bummed I opened it this young.

Wow. Very Rhone-like, from CA. Lots of structure but starting to unwind nicely. Quite a value.

Beautiful big well structured wine with blackberry and brambly notes with a hint of black licorice and cedar undertones. This wine can age for another decade or more.

In a long list of great wines from Unti, this is easily the finest we've had. Fantastic balance and structure, long finish of black currant skins - without being overpoweringly fruity. A tour de force. Reminder to self - do not open the other bottle for many years!

I am circling back on this wine. Had it a while ago, good then and good now. Unti to me had always made great wine that I enjoy drinking. Still showing nice tannins and the fruits and spices have not faded. If you have not tried Unti you owe it to yourself to do so.
