Pisano
RPF Reserva Personal de la Familia Progreso Tannat
Progreso, Uruguay
Dark blackish purple. Inviting nose of blueberry compote and overripe blackberry. Full bodied palate confirms the nose adding tarry oak in the back palate and finish. All supported by juicy medium plus acidity and wrapped in firm but velvety tannins. Finish is long and continues the palate. A polished Tannat that shows why it's the signature variety of Uruguay where it fits the country's beef culture like a dark tannic glove. Drink now through 2031.

A new wine/grape for me. Was much better on the first night. 2nd night not as good.

Feb 6th, 2020Earthy with notes of forest floor, mushroom and mossy grass. Tannins galore with a medium finish. Needs food.

This is a great value and has brilliant balance and depth for the cost ~$18. Initially some petrol and black licorice on the nose followed by lush black fruit. Macerated Blackberry, currant, and plum palate with evolving oak and mocha to the finish. Has a bit of violet on the inner mouth perfumes as well. Really like it!

It's a deep dark purple color that just barely lightens to a ruby at the rim. There is, surprisingly, a good amount of complexity on the nose and palate, from baked and dried fruits on the former to tart and ripe fruits on the latter. There's mocha and coffee beans and vegetal peppers and that's just on the forefront. The tannins are present but soften after some time open.

Age this one a bit. Tannins get their name from this grape, that should be a good author's foreword. Big and powerful wine, deep purple colour and taste. Long finish.
