The 1998 Valbuena is better than the 1987 Unico, and probably as good as the 1989 Unico, at least over the next decade. Extremely full-bodied, it offers up notes of smoke, graphite, toasty oak, caramel, black cherry liqueur, and cassis. Opulent and sumptuous, it is both a hedonistic and intellectual turn-on.
Lovely focus and balance. Crisp, juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors are backed by toasty oak and lively acidity. Firm, well-integrated tannins.
