Spain's most consistently great winery continues to turn out exciting wines. There are four Unico Reservas currently in the market. The 1982 Unico Reserva is fatter and richer than the 1985, displaying a dark plum/garnet color, and a complex set of aromatics consisting of sweet tobacco, roasted herbs, tar, jammy kirsch, and caramel. Full-bodied, with a viscous texture, forward, fat, ripe flavors, low acidity, and a knock-out finish with copious amounts of glycerin, this is a succulent, hedonistic, luxuriously rich Unico that can be drunk now as well as over the next 15+ years
In 1864, Eloy Lecanda founded the winery that symbolizes the golden legend of Spanish red wine. Throughout its long history, it has belonged to different owners, although it has always maintained an unquestionable personality, making concentrated, mature, generous and extremely elegant. The... current stage began in 1982, when El Enebro S.A., a company owned by the Álvarez Mezquíriz family, acquired the winery and the vineyards from the Venezuelan businessman Miguel Neumann. From that year onwards, the family, with David Álvarez and his sons and daughters Pablo, Jesús David, María José, Emilio, Juan Carlos, Elvira and Marta, have developed a policy of harmonization of present innovative techniques required by the wine sector with the traditional winemaking process. The vineyard area has been extended and the vineyards and vines, which were almost half a century old, have been replanted in rotation.
