The aromatics are impressive, with orange blossoms, sliced oranges and black fruit. Hints of tar with some minerals, fresh spices and chiles. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine. They are polished and curated. Chewy at the end but there's a finesse, tension and focus. 42% tannat, 39% cabernet franc and 19% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better from 2027 [into the early 2030s.]. Score - 96.

The grape thrives in Maldonado, where the region's soil and its proximity to the sea are similar to those of Albariño's home in Spain's Galicia region. The wine offers lovely stone fruit with a mineral undertone.
