(2025) From vines plants in 1990, this is one of Uruguay’s top Tannats. Dried herbs and fresh tobacco on the nose with notes of blackberry, red cherry and black pepper on the palate. Firm tannins superbly integrated in a wine that has poise, freshness and notable concentration. Spent 15 months in French oak, 50% new, 50% second fill. (Geoffrey Dean)
