This is a sensational Unico. It has a sublime bouquet with dark red fruit, blood orange, marmalade, crushed stone and pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with effervescent red fruit that are irrepressibly precocious and seem to shimmer with delight. There is a keen thread of acidity, wonderful harmony and sense of vibrancy. It has an extraordinary finish, like eating an orange flavored vitamin pill. Somehow this reminds me of the 1982 Cheval Blanc in terms of its fabulous freshness and vivacity. 81,500 bottles produced.
