Heavier on the red fruit and lighter on the spice than I was a expecting for a Rhône Valley wine. A little acidic for my taste, but nice long finish. At first I thought I maybe opened it too early, but then I saw the drinking window ended in 2024 so that couldn’t be it. It’s a decent wine, but not one I would buy again.

Very dry, high acidity, purple hue. The next day tasted better, you could pick up some plum, but still fairly acidic and dry. I’ve had other vintages (I forget which ones) that were delicious, but I would not buy another bottle of 2017 again.

This was delicious! I will definitely be buying again. And so fun that it’s from Uruguay, a region not known for wine.
