Sommelier’s Note
Elena M.
· Wine Expert

This Golden Reserve Tannat from Pizzorno Family Estates showcases the full power and elegance of Uruguay’s flagship grape. The 2016 vintage has matured beautifully, gaining depth, polish, and harmony. Eighteen months in oak have shaped the wine into a bold yet impeccably balanced expression, where intensity meets refinement.

Expect a rich and enveloping profile: deep black fruit intertwined with notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is dense, silky, and profoundly structured, driven by mature tannins that feel both powerful and well-integrated. The finish is long, warm, and complex, leaving lingering layers of cocoa and dried fruit. A sophisticated, age-worthy Tannat that stands confidently among the finest in its category.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep, high-intensity violet with the characteristic opacity of premium Tannat.

Aroma: Complex and generous. Tobacco, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roasted coffee evolve alongside raisined and black fruit notes, all seamlessly woven by extended oak ageing.

Palate: Dense, unctuous, and structured. Mature tannins provide strength and elegance, while flavours of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit build toward a persistent, warming finish.

Overall: A powerful, polished Tannat of remarkable depth and maturity. Perfect for hearty meat dishes, rich pasta, and slow-cooked preparations.

Storage & Cellaring

Long-Term Storage (Unopened)

To preserve the wine’s structure and aromatic complexity, follow these storage recommendations:

  • Keep bottles in a cool, dark place, protected from direct sunlight and vibration.
  • Ideal cellaring temperature: 12–18°C (55–64°F) with stable conditions.
  • Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork hydrated and prevent oxidation.
  • Properly stored, this Tannat can evolve gracefully for 5–8 years due to its tannin structure and oak aging.

After Opening

  • Re-cork tightly and store upright to minimize oxygen contact.
  • Keep in a cool environment (wine fridge recommended).
  • Best enjoyed within 4–6 days for ideal freshness.
    (If vacuum-sealed or preserved with inert gas, it may last slightly longer.)

Serving Tip

  • For best expression, decant 30–60 minutes before drinking to soften tannins and open aromatics.
