Billionaire Alejandro Bulgheroni did not create Bodega Garzon to make money. He founded it to create jobs for his beloved corner of Uruguay and... to make great wine. The level of effort and detail that goes into making this wine far exceeds what is normally possible for the modest price. If you've never before had a Tannat, this one ought to be tried!
James Suckling: 91 Points
(6/23/2021) "A full-bodied red with aromas of black cherries, blackcurrants, violets and black licorice. Tannic and chewy with a firm core of dark fruit. Try from 2023."
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
(5/1/2021) "A ruby color and spicy plum and berry aromas open this medium-bodied Tannat, with briny hints of ocean air and seashell chiming in. Lightly herbal flavors of plum and cassis are ever so slightly green, while this is smacking and intense on a juicy finish."

(6/2021) "Initially rich, with sweet notes of licorice and green herb scents of thyme, this opens with air into a plump red that feels completely saturated with ripe blackberry and purple plum flavor. Ducky and delicious -- especially if decanted for seared magret de canard."
