  September 2, 2019 - My first time trying a Uruguayan wine, and indeed the grape varietal, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It definitely needs a decent time in the decanter, but once open is an interesting wine. It is a big beefy wine and really needs to be accompanied with food. It is perhaps a little one dimensional, but all in all a recommended experience.

  September 2, 2018 - Nose is meaty, roasted chicken — some dark fruit. Palate is bracing. It’s overwhelmingly tobacco; it tastes like a smoking lounge smells — and I do not mean that as a compliment — mixed with dark fruit jam. The bottle is not flawed, but I find absolutely nothing to enjoy here. The rest of the bottle (which is pretty much all of it) will be going into a sauce — if I dare use it for that, even.

  May 16, 2017 - Deep purple color. Persistent nose of black fruits, lots of oak and excessive sweetness with hints of game. Firm tannins, finish is very short. This particular wine is not interesting at all, but no faults spotted.
  
  Tannat is now getting huge in Uruguay and is big success there. I personally would rather prefer classy Tannat of Madrian, which boasts to be the most tannic wine.

  May 11, 2017 - Medium plus nose is different, stewed black jam, dark bell pepper, anise, dried baking spice, crushed violets, graphite. Palate is jammy and juicy, lots of black fruit flavor, meaty tones of game, a little like a Ripasso or Amarone. Drops off quick, tannins are friendly at medium and a little sweet, short finish, this is all about that fruit up front. It's not too sweet, it's just on the attack. Nice value, fun wine.
