Reserva Maldonado Tannat

Very impressive. Love a good tannat and hate an under achieving tannat. This however is very good. Bing Cherry and leather on the front. Chaulky black fruit on the finishing notes. Had ours with a specialty pizza of pepperoni and mushrooms. Absolutely a fabulous pairing! Lastly, the spice on this slightly tannic blend is perfect. ♥️

Label has old school vibes with a lot of very small writing in español. Dark purple approaching black in the glass. Aroma of tar, molasses and tobacco plants. Flavors are decently complex. Bit of dried black cherries and blackberry sauce. Black currant and black licorice are both also in there. Tannic. Dense. Weighty. Plummy finish. This doesn’t sing out with the herbal, earthy, wet bushes in the hills thing some Tannat is famous for, but it’s lovely red with character. Would meet a steak and shake its hand firmly with a next match.

Dark, more complex than expected. Pleasantly surprised. Could be less dry on the back end.

Great wine, best with a meaty dish. Love the deep red fruits, not overly tannic, light leather notes. Very drinkable

Enjoyed this wine. Very tannic, medium acid, medium ish body. Dark fruit. Will buy more and forget about it for a few years a to see what happens.

Aromatic start, full, smooth, rich, end with light palatable spicy. Like it

Delicious with lamb chops

I’ll be honest - my hubs picked this up on the fly. I like dry reds and this foots the bill. This would pair well with strong cheese and meats or to bring to a party.

Full, rich and reasonably priced!
