It was very interesting to taste the 2016 Unus next to the 2017. The freshness and the elegance are pretty obvious, which does not mean the wine is light, and there's harmonious balance that should make this a long-distance runner in the bottle. The fruit is ripe but without excess, the oak is there in the background, the tannins are present but are soft and fine grained and it's subtler than the 2017. It's a classical blend of 65% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot with a mixture of berries, herbs and spices. A classical Bordeaux blend in one of the freshest vintages of recent times.

A dark, smoky and dramatic red with plenty of bitter chocolate, ripe blue and black fruit, then a really solid tannin structure that not only fills out the full body, but also gives the finish quite some drive. A blend of 65 per cent malbec, 25 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 10 per cent petit verdot. Drink or hold.
