Full bodied, dry, a bit acidic, and rich in tannins. There's cherry and berry flavors after a swirl on the palate, maybe even a little chocolate. So tannins upfront and the fruitfullness to finish. — 6 years ago

Brought this back from our trip to Uruguay. One of the better blended ones and I can remember I was fed up with all the single varietal tannat when I was there. Great spice, herbs, mint, good acidity and only slightly tannat-tanic. — 7 years ago
