Inky crimson color, high opacity, tawny rim.

Mushroom, forest, petrichor, cinnamon as a matter olfactory.

Thick, medium to full bodied, light acid

Lots to consider with this varietal.
Green pepper, smoky peanut...like piles of dried leaves. — 2 years ago

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of earthy lemon and marzipan. Firm, zingy acidity from entry to finish on the medium full palate which yields lemon zest, concrete block, and citrus rind. Finish is moderate and lemony. This full-bodied style of Torrontes is an excellent foil for hearty seafood or pork dishes: a perfect white counterpart to Uruguay’s signature red variety, Tannat. Drink now through 2025 or a little beyond. — 4 years ago

This is a tannat grape wine, not cabernet sauvignon. I got the 2017 vintage and it was really splendid. Robust and well balanced with notes of wood and spices. — 6 years ago

On nose beautiful floral aromas, on palate black cherry, plums, dried herbs, and a bit peppery aftertaste. Thick, rich, meaty, powerful, extremely tannic and therefore somewhat unbalanced. Big full-bodied wine, I like it! — 9 years ago

Very happy with my wine purchase. Notes of sweet black cherry, it's really delightful, and lightly herby/floral on the nose with a bite of acidity

Initially it's very soft on the palate with undertones of cherry and blackberry. It's followed by a warm, rounded tannic body that continues to carry the cherry throughout. Ends very gently with a more berry/herby aftertaste with notes of unknown herbs — 2 years ago

Dark red with near black core. Blackberry, black cranberry, and a hint of birch on the nose. Full bodied palate echoes the nose adding firm tannins (natch) and medium plus acidity surrounded by lush fruit. Enjoy with beef dishes or hearty stews. Great intro to the variety. Drink now through 2028. — 6 years ago

Dark red purple in the glass. Full nose of red currant, roses, and bell pepper. Full bodied palate echoes the nose and delivers juicy black fruit on top. Firm, fuzzy tannins (medium plus) and medium acidity round out this wine that screams for beef. Drink now or in the next five years (by 2023). — 8 years ago

Star bright, near water clear straw gold. A bit of “stank” on the bosomy nose, that blows off to reveal lemon, citrus rind, and hay. Echoed on the palate with the lemon asserting itself more prominently back palate. Bright (medium) acidity. Medium full body (without obvious malolactic). Baked quince somehow managed to sneak into the finish. I’m enjoying mine with a rich fruit and cheese plate. Enjoy yours with same, or with white flesh fish, poultry with cream sauce, or salad greens with diverse veggies and nuts. — 8 years ago

Pretty deep ruby /garnet core , lightening though not a lot at the edges , very big thick slow legs. Certainly secondary aromas now, ceder , licorice , blackcurrant with a meaty undertone , quite interesting and complex . In the mouth more of the blackcurrant fruit, minty notes also , then the tannins kick in. They are ripe but omnipresent , almost a cocoa powder finish with the drying tannins. The mid palate is slightly hollow and lacks a bit of charm. This is a big wine though the acidity is balancing I'm not sure those tannins will ever be resolved. It doesn't come as 'new world' you would think it could be a left bank Bordeaux , a St Estephe perhaps, though the sweeter tannins and slightly alcoholic kick give away another origin. Coming back to this , I think there will probably be limited upside , the wine appear too hollow to really improve. So drink now and over the next 3 years . — 9 years ago
