The 1972 Unico has a roof tile-scented bouquet that opens nicely, somewhat reluctantly giving up rose petals, dried orange peel, kirsch and toffee. It has fine definition and shows a little precocity than the 1973. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, decayed tannins. There is plenty of leathery red fruit infused with white pepper, cured meat and citrus peel. The finish is almost like a more muted version of the 1982. The -72 has good pedigree and breeding, yet it is a little conservative and aloof. 66,500 bottles produced. Drink now-2025.
