At first the aromas seem reduced and inky, but with time some spice and raisin comes up. As per usual, given its origin, the wine is tannic, with a hard mouthfeel. But the flavors are solid and true, and there’s just enough spicy red fruit, leather and earth throughout.

Inky and saturated in the nose, with aromas of chocolate, coffee and red berries. The palate kicks up cherry, plum and chocolate, and the finish is typically dry and tannic. But it’s also tasty and comes in a couple of layers. This wine shows more style than most from Uruguay and would be worth a go with grilled steak.

With its leather and peanut aromas, you wonder about the fruit. But it doesn’t taste bad, although the tannins wrapped around the cherry and raisin fruit are hard as cement. It finishes dry and hard, with too much tannin and not enough pulp.

The bouquet of cherry, vanilla and leather is fairly complete and nice. Flavors of dried fruits, brandy and chocolate pave the way to a quiet, simple and clean finish. With a fair amount of Piedmontese character, this one has a bit in common with Nebbiolo. It’s definitely leathery and tight, but the flavors are good.
