July 27, 2022 - 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!!

June 20, 2022 - 馃嚜馃嚫 Coupage de Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot y Marselan (45%, 25%, 18% y 12%) con crianza durante 20 meses en barricas de roble franc茅s sin tostar. Volviendo a este vino y a帽ada dos a帽os y medio despu茅s. Lo que ya me hab铆a parecido un <Tannat Blend> uruguayo con perfil distinto, m谩s sutil y elegante, ha confirmado a煤n m谩s claramente esta propuesta, aunque conserva toda su intensidad frutal y estructura para recorrido.

July 29, 2021 - 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.

July 9, 2021 - 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.2 people found this helpful Comments (1)
