  Lovely Bordeaux style red ! We have loved every wine on this label that we have had. Smokey and grapes on the nose. On the palette, smokey, and a mixture of grapes and cherries and plums to form a delicious tangy balance, Medium weight, great legs, My wife felt a slight perlant! ( She said, "that's bizarre! I've never felt a perlant in a red!" Eaten with (cheese, olive, plant- based burger, and. chilies) enchiladas. Delicious!!
  7/29/22 - Had the remainder of the bottle with Margarita pizza tonight and green salad, it was lovely!

  🇪🇸 Coupage de Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot y Marselan (45%, 25%, 18% y 12%) con crianza durante 20 meses en barricas de roble francés sin tostar. Volviendo a este vino y añada dos años y medio después. Lo que ya me había parecido un <Tannat Blend> uruguayo con perfil distinto, más sutil y elegante, ha confirmado aún más claramente esta propuesta, aunque conserva toda su intensidad frutal y estructura para recorrido.
  
  🇵🇹🇧🇷 Bebido por ocasião do aniversário deste enocurioso, dia 20/06/2022.

  Back to where it was for me: a great wine, wonderful bouquet and good structure that keeps it interesting. Paired great with steak, though frankly it's just a great drinking wine. I wouldn't let it breathe too long - think this one's pretty ready to drink after 20-30 mins now.

  Briefly... well it's a decent, nicely balanced, fruity wine with smooth tannins.
  
  But for me it's a US$35-40 example of that, not the US$70 I paid, and certainly not the CAV of US$105!
  
  This one was decanted and drunk 30-60 minutes later. I'll try giving my other bottle a load more air to see if that steps things up a notch.
