A favorite amongst friends, they're always surprised. They always ask if I can bring a bottle, unfortunately I only have 3 left! Big, bold and tannic as all get out but mellows out after an hour or so in the decanter.

Smells really strongly alcoholic, cherry nose with a little pomegranate. Smooth wine with a hint of sweetness, medium body and very fruity: notes of cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry. Not much spice or wood, just plain fruit taste with a sharp finish. Slightly smokey. Easy drinking, could improve with age.

Blueberry smell. Medium-full body with lots of character. Wine is fruity like blueberry and plum, but mostly a ceder note. Hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. A good wine but it is not my cup of tea.

What a great surprise. Concentrated, dark, thick. Tannic (as expected) but very drinkable , 20 mos. in barrel but not at all over-oaked, because the wine is big enough to handle it. A fantastic bargain. Uruguayans are proud of their tannat, but 4 times out of 5 the nationalist hype doesn't hold up in the tasting because the winemaking skills aren't yet quite to world standards. This is one of the 1 in 5 exceptions.
