Es notable que tiene cierta calidad pero aparentemente está muy joven. En boca se siente en el medio de la lengua, algo de fruta pero muy seca, algo de cuero también. En la.nariz predomina el alcohol,
Este vino deberia dar mas de.lo que cuesta.

I would describe this Uruguayan blend as a hybrid Napa/Bordeaux Red Blend with a touch of Rioja blended in. 45% Tannat, 25% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petite Verdot, 12% Marselan. Red and black fruit aromas with hints of violets and baking spices. Juicy red and black fruit flavors with hints of blueberries, grilled herbs, black licorice, Forrest Floor and dark chocolate. Excellent meaty texture with a long and minerally finish. Very complex with dusty tannins. Fantastic now, but this one might need some additional bottle age.

Great Wine, still Young, lots to improve, very diferente Blanc where one can taste tannat, cabernet Grand and Petit verdot, resulting in a round very unique blend with a final aftertaste of pommegranate
