Bodega Marichal
Premium Varietal Tannat
Canelones, Uruguay
Kind of an ‘eh’ wine here that I anticipated having more to write home about. It’s not a dud, just not a beaut.
Dark and slightly stormy purple hue. A mix of musk and muddled fruit aromatics. The primary flavor is plum, a little earth, tobacco. But none of it is strong and none of it lingers. Don’t hate it, just won’t remember it. Kind of like that girl when I was 22… where were we? What was her name??? Meh.

Leather, Earl Grey, plum. Not as tannic as most Madiran. Not as ripe as most Uruguayan Tannat

Fruit leather and cinnamon. Dry and savory, full bodied with an immediate fall-off.
