Reserva Maldonado Tannat

At first, an odd whiff of aged tofu, that starts to evolve into berry blends..

Medium to heavy, blackberry seed, barnyard funk, black cherry kefir acidity, powdery new oak tannins.
Tannat from Uruguay - excellent.

Violet laced prune juice of a nose,

Blackberry jam, cassis , violet, blood orange pith, medium bodied with a tangy zing to bring up the rear. Long finish, with tannins - front and flanking.

Love Tannat from Uruguay. South America has such spectacular vines.

v18. Very good! Soft smoked meat nose. Fresh black cherry and mint fruit. Bright, clean, slightly chalky finish. Nice food wine.

Álcool 14,5%.

This inexpensive red is a go-to for me now. Robust, full flavor, deep Garnet color, lovely to enjoy with a steak or just enjoy a glass with some strong cheeses.

Liked it. A little bold.

9.0-9.1

1 hour decant, Great with a simple steak.
Could lay down for a year (real cork), allowing he woody notes of the tannin to mellow and integrate. Good fruit, black plum and dark berry. Jumped into my basket for under $20.

Funny - - Chile - Carmenere, Argentina - Malbec, Uruguay - Tannat (supposedly US-Virginia too) ... 🤔

Great with beef and hearty meals

Dry earthy delicious
