Casa Magrez de Uruguay Cuvée d'Exception Tannat Blend

16/20 (90/100)

This hit the friggin spot, I don’t know why. It’s not like it’s an exceptional expensive bottle but it was drinking really really well! Complex, it’s not, but the flavors are beautiful. Smoke tobacco, black fruits. It’s got some kick from those tannins and stays and stays. Medium bodied, just right.

Nice robust red

Not as impressive as at the restaurant. We’ll see how the next bottle goes.

Wonderful Tannat-heavy blend.

Bernard Magrez ‘Casa Magrez de Uruguay’ 2016: Big. Bold. Beautiful. A complex & expressive wine with black fruits, plum, vanilla, leather, earth & oak notes. Medium acidity & tannins and a lovely smooth finish. Coming from the beautiful country of Uruguay, this wine is an elegant & graceful red blend of Tannat, Merlot & Cab Franc. A ready-to-drink, great value wine with an awesome flavor profile. Glad to be cellaring 2 additional bottles! Cheers🍷

First time trying a wine from Uruguay. What a treat! Super mellow, nice light and fruit forward. Perfect little Sunday night wine.

Special buy via Teri. Light, thin wine that finishes fast, but nice fruit roundness in taste. Bit of spice adds character.

Post hosting Nowlans for Eags win; bit heavy for us but good spice, not sure ABV though.... red lips

First wine I've ever had from Uruguay. It was a nice dark red without overpowering tannin or smothering fruit
