The bouquet has a strong lemony scent, one that seems to come from the wood treatment it went through. But there’s also saturated black fruit, boysenberry flavors and, of course, huge, drying tannins. This is not an ordinary wine, or an ordinary Tannat. It certainly brings some zing to the table.

Approachable on the nose, but like so many other Tannats it’s like nails on the palate. And here the fruit is snappy and tangy, not dark and sweet. You could call it juicy or just as easily call it sour.

Very expensive for a novelty, and without coming down too hard on it, it's fat and raisiny with a heavy ripeness that is tough to swallow. Ripasso by nature is a rich, sweet, sticky style of wine but this rendition lacks edge and focus.

Absolutely delicious. This wine is so full of chocolate and caramel that it can easily stand alone as a dessert. Like no wine I've ever tasted before!

This is a truly unique and fun dessert wine. Imagine tasting a liquid rollo, yes I mean the candy. It was my first wine from Uruguay and also my first tannat. It's a dessert in and of itself. Caramel and espresso bean on the nose. Rich texture and 16% alcohol, which for me translates into only about one glass max.
