Reviewed May 2017A juicy red with blackberry and stone. Slate undertone. Full body. Chewy tannins. Big and intense. Needs some time to soften. Lots of flavor and character. Flamboyant. Drink now.

Wine Spectator
Well-sculpted, with dense, rich flavors of dark plum, dried blackberry and dark currant that are supported by firm tannins. Christmas pudding and rich savory notes show on the finish. Drink now through 2022. *Rank 41 2017 Top 100. Smart Buys* (KM)

Colour of elderberry juice. Dark and rocky and so mineral on the nose. Fresh and juicy but with such fine dry tannins. Tension from the finesse of the tannins. More intense than the 2014. Compact yet with real finesse. Dark chocolate and graphite on the finish. Dark and so savoury but then also juicily drinkable but needs more time and/or food. (JH) 17.5/20 points
Notes
Produced from Tannat grown in various regions of Uruguay, sourced from a whopping 1000 parcels, this is a fine example of Urugay's prized red grape varietal. Aged for 6 months in used French oak barrels, this Tannat has round, dark cherry fruit, with a hint of savory green notes, lovely richness, and solid structure. Bodega Garzon is also noteworthy for its impressive, LEED certified winery.
