Reserva Montevideo Tannat

More floral and aromatic than the Spanish kind.

Very rich aroma and flavor; definitely oaked; high tannins; concentrated fruit; not very complex, but nice combination of fruit and tannins; tastes like Zinfandel but with less alcohol

#Tannat from #uruguay where it's the national grape. So well matched with St. Patrick's Day brisket. Irish immigrants in Montevideo?

Dark red purple in the glass. Shy nose at first. Meaty dark fruit and charred vanilla on the nose. Echoed on the smoky palate intro'd by firm tannins and wrapped in good medium plus acidity. This excellent example of New World Tannat should last for several years.

Tricked all my friends with this one. Touch of vanillin with jammy dark fruit.

Blackberry pie with graham cracker crust. Oaky. High tannins. Full mouthfeel. ($18)

For those of you who do not know Bouza as a producer, you will be very much surprised. For the very few lucky guys like myself, they keep on amazing me. Fantastic beautiful Tannat, a gem, clean, medium-full bodied, elegant, deep purple, smoky , balanced, perfect tannins and very well priced. Full package, look for it, it's worth it.

Merlot fruity, zin-ish salami, something mulled? And petite sirah body, on a diet.

Dusty violet and berry on the nose; the berry/fruit influence softened and rounded the tannins. Short finish; good value proposition (QPR). I enjoyed this wine.

Vertical tasting! Slightly preferred the 2013 to the 2012
