Jun 11th, 2024On the nose, this is frozen raspberry... On the palate, this tastes darker... Blackberry, cranberry... Tree bark, cedar, sawdust... Eucalyptus... Very mushy wood... Pretty big body here though... And the tannins are really contributing to that... Soft, chewy... Medium length with baking spice.

Nov 9th, 2024Had with our Uruguayan asado feast. Paired excellently with woodfired meats and vegetables. Wine stands up on its own too if you like jam forward oaky red wines. Aroma is barrel oak, vanilla, spice and dark fruit pie. Taste is a jammy blast of rich dark fruit, assertive tannin, and a lingering balance between the two to finish. Highly recommend this wine and would try more tannat wines!

Jul 16th, 2024Dark purple/black color. Aromas of dark black plum, rose petals and bramble berries and a bit of baking spice. Black cherry and plum lead the palate along with a balsamic vinegar/soy sauce component. Bright acidity and rigid tannins. Noticeable/screaming acidity. Building blocks are in place but this wine is just a baby. Needs more bottle age. Looking forward (Thanks James W.) to tasting this one again in a few years. Part of our Garzon Tannat Reserva vertical tasting.

Jun 14th, 2024Dark ruby/purple color. Red and black fruit aromas with hints of violets and cloves. The palate is more black fruit focused with additional hints of black licorice and a bit of pepper spice. Nice touch of vanilla on the long finish. Full bodied but austere. Creamy texture, well balanced and well integrated silky tannins. The best bottle from our Garzon Tannat Reserva five bottle vertical tasting.

Jun 14th, 2024Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Dark berry, purple flower and mineral aromas. Red and black fruit flavors along with hints of black tea and baking spices. A bit of a green/sour note on the finish. Tannins have softened and the acidity and alcohol are nicely balanced. Medium-plus body. Part of a five bottle Garzon Tannat Reserva vertical tasting.

Jun 14th, 2024Deep ruby in color; milk chocolate, cherries, and cigar box on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; I'm having trouble describing the flavors, but I love this wine. Jason says it ok.

Dec 19th, 2023Juicy and fruit forward. Dark plum and berry aromas with a hint of saline. Plum and dark currant flavors with a touch of black tea and fresh herbs (green) on the finish. Lighter bodied and less chewy tannins than in past vintages. Dark ruby color. Fresh and bright. I would like to revisit this one in a few years. I did revisit in June 2024. Above notes still apply. Not much difference than my initial tasting.
