  A lot of wood on the nose initially but a few hours in a decanter did a power of good. A great advert for Uruguayan wine subsequently emerged with high quality oak married to ripe, but not over-ripe, fruit. This is a smooth, lush, yet relatively elegant wine that is impressive on the nose and palate. The only issues were the initial prominence of the oak and the fact that there was noticeable oxidisation on the second night. I'm therefore not sure this will necessarily age for a great deal of time but with enough air (although not too much!) there is no need to wait anyway.

  This was a fine wine and a surprise. It's from Uruguay. The Wine Society listing differs from the label. The label lists this vintage as 52% Merlot, 23% Tennat, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon + others. Right from that fine clear and fruity nose, our expectations were set up. A bit of wood, lovely mouthful. Silky throughout with nothing harsh. This is a really nice wine.
