20% #cabernetsauvignon 60% #tannat 20% #cabernetfranc . Touch of barnyard funk nose immediately followed by a deep well of cassis, bramble fruit. Higher tension on the palate, robust grippy tannins, as expected. Feels like it needs another 5 years bottle time to fully integrate. #madiran — 2 years ago

Interesting wine - lesser extracted, medium body. It’s got a reticent nose but once it opens up there’s dark bramble berry, some cocoa and tobacco on the palate and an unexpectedly bright acidity finishing in robust tannins. This is my first experience with #uruguay #tannat and I like it. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2011 / a blend of grapes that is not very common: #merlot and #tannat. after some aeration: a shy smell with spicyness, tastes velvety but also not very easy, stubborn. A hard to get wine. Paired it with fried duck brest. #côtesdegascogne — 7 years ago

Charcuterie, toasted oak, vanilla nose in front of backstage black fruit on this #saintmont featuring 70% #tannat, 15% #cabernetsauvignon and 15% #pinenc Gascony red blend. Medium-plus body, good texture but a bit monochromatic on the palate. — 4 years ago

Não sei se é porque faz uma cara que eu não tomo um #tannat uruguaio, mas esse tava bom. Com o cheiro típico de chocolate, o gosto encorpado com o gosto final de uva passa e amora, e o gosto inicial bem apimentado, me fez bem feliz e contente. Preço bem bom também. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2002 - Stubborn wine from tannat, it's a solid choice with good p/q Don't expect a lot of complexity in this basic cuvee, but pleasant smell with plums, spicyness, in taste medium concentration. It gives some chocolate impressions after given air, also coffee and espresso. With a filet de boeuf. #madiran #tannat #madiranmoment #happy — 9 years ago

Beautiful sweet bouquet. Deep rich color. On the palate it is ripe and rich but the tannins are slightly coarse. Drink now and for the next 5 years. #tannat — 5 years ago

Abiatu 2017 de Imanol Garay @imanolgaray. 95% #tannat y 5% #cabernetfranc. 18 meses de crianza en barricas de 228 l y ánforas de arenisca. Madiran. Francia. 14% vol.
Impresionante vista picota de capa media-alta con ribete carmesí. Lágrima fina y densa que tinta la copa.
Aromas que necesitan de aireación para desplegar un abanico cuyo protagonista es el aporte mineral de pedernal que se ve acompañado por sensaciones de fruta roja y negra (arándanos), recuerdos de hoja de tabaco y toques balsámicos.
Ataque inicial picante con un carbónico sutil. Muy buena acidez. Tanino rugoso y sensaciones sedosas. Fresco, complejo y de buen recorrido. Adictivo.
Vino personal de Imanol Garay al que hay que acercarse con la mente abierta y huyendo de estereotipos.
A mi, personalmente, me ha encantado, aunque le queda recorrido y, quizás, dar aún lo mejor de sí con más tiempo.

Ahhh... Esse #tannat é bom demais. Parte da nota tem meu amor pelo Uruguai? Sim. Mas, é a vida.
O cheiro começa bem forte na fermentação e depois muda pra um cacau bom demais. Depois vem o gosto encorpado, alcoólico, mas bem agradável. Tem também um pouco de refrescância/especiarias que é bom demais. (: — 8 years ago

Everyone should drink #Tannat from #Uruguay This was delicious - round tannins, rich black fruit, pepper, coffee, a touch of vanilla from the oak (but not too much), nice mineral backbone and an extra long finish. This wine is for real. — 8 years ago

Deep purple and opaque. Nose is full of blue and black fruit, chocolate, and dried herbs. A full bodied palate coats your mouth in a delicious way. Firm tannins with silky edges. Medium acid. Medium complexity. Juicy length. A very well made and serious wine of incredible value. Perfect for an #asado #tannat #uruguay #bodegagarzon #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

#tannat bem médio. Precisou de muita aeração. Pouco amadeirado, mais alcoólico, faltou equilíbrio. Esperava mais. — 9 years ago
