Needs time but still enjoying it. I decanted for about two hours. Last glass was more like a 9.2. — a month ago

After decanting and letting rest for a while it is a great well balanced wine — 17 days ago

Dark, glass-clinging ruby red with black core. Inviting nose of tarry blackberry and burnt violets. Full palate yields the same in a cobbler with dried plum (not prune… more desiccated) and a hint of cocoa Creme. Dusty medium tannins… far less assertive than the primary variety would portend. Medium plus acidity. Evidence that Uruguay can produce premium wines at a reasonable price. True to their Italian heritage, the Pisano brothers make wines that fit the local cuisine. In this case, beef is where it's at, but any hearty fare (ribs, root veggies, tenderloin, cassoulet) will pair well. Drink now through 2028. — 14 days ago

Holding it this long was perfect. Ready to drink with dinner, and a revelation, blending those two varietals. Wish I had more. — 3 days ago

Tannat (80%)/Cabernet Franc (20%) blend. Deep purple color. Dark black fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of smoke and oak. Just a bit of a green note but it incorporates beautifully. Nicely structured, as the Tannat was not over extracted. Tannins are present but not overly grippy. Alcohol is also reasonable at 13.5%. This wine has benefited from aging. Thank You Ron B. — 24 days ago

Really loved this at Sommerin with @raj and @Peter Akers - savoury, heavy but balanced tannins and quite unusual but delicious flavour. Highly recommend — 23 days ago

9.1

Deep almost black color, ruby, with slight orange shades. Advanced open nose, wood-smoked black fruits, graphite charcoal, tobacco, roasting. Mouth with dense but flexible tannic material. The breeding is perfectly melted and seems to be able to withstand another 5 or 10 years of aging without problems. A gourmet class wine at an affordable price.

Robe profonde presque noire, rubis, au légères nuances orangée. Nez ouvert évolué, fruits noirs bois-fumé, charbon graphite, tabac, torréfaction. Bouche à la matière tannique dense mais souple. L’élevage est parfaitement fondu et semble pouvoir supporter encore 5 ou 10 ans de garde sans problème. Un vin de classe gastronomique à prix abordable. — a month ago
