2018 Bodega Garzon "Balasto" Red Blend Uruguay

Decanter
Review Date: 06/2023This is the fourth version of Garzón’s top wine, from a selection of vineyards bathed in Atlantic breezes. The blend is 40% Tannat, 34% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot, plus Merlot and Marselan, aged for 20 months in untoasted French oak barrels. It’s full of fruit, but with herbal notes too, and sharp, fine tannins. An elegant and deep wine for ageing. (PT)

Blackberries and tar with black walnuts and dried violets. Full-bodied, yet so tight and focused with beautifully polished, precise tannins that give a beautiful texture. This is deep and gorgeous. Extremely attractive and reserved.

Aromas of lavender, rose water, cardamom and blueberry are intriguing, which sets this prestige blend from Uruguay apart from the masses. The broad palate is jammy and generous, cut by core acidity. Herbs, plum and black raspberry flavors are aided by peppery spice on the smooth finish. (MS)

A rich, muscular and powerful red, with aromas of warm spices and espresso bean. Folds over on the palate around a pure cherry and black raspberry core, which is full of energy and length. Ends with marinated olive and chocolate-covered orange peel notes that linger around firm tannins. Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Marselan. (MW)
