TASTING NOTES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🍷 Appearance
Deep purple to almost opaque crimson—rich, dense and intensely coloured, reflecting the power of the Tannat grape.

👃 Aromas
Expressive and layered, with ripe black fruits—plum, blackberry and blackcurrant—alongside red berry lift.
Hints of spice, cedar, graphite and subtle herbal notes add complexity and regional character.

👅 Palate
Full-bodied and structured, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavours—black plum, cherry and currant.
Firm, ripe tannins provide grip and backbone, balanced by fresh acidity and savoury undertones of spice, leather and cocoa.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Powerful yet polished, with fine-grained tannins and a dense, mouth-filling texture.
The finish is long and persistent, showing dark fruit, spice and a mineral edge with lingering structure.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern, refined expression of Tannat—combining Uruguay’s signature power with elegance and balance.
Structured, savoury and age-worthy, yet approachable in its fruit purity.
