TN: 2005 Pisano Licor de Tannat.

WINE TALK
1

2005 Pisano eTXe Oneko Beltza Likore, Uruguay.
Cellared 4 yrs, 17.5% alc, $31 Cdn, 375 ml. Good natural cork, wine created through a combination of both Port and Amarone production. Big chunks of sediment were to be expected!

Inky black with very dark purple rim.
Nose is very impressive with forefront blueberry, blackberry. Hint of oak still and plum from across the table. Not much change on day 2.
Initial entry thought is still some tannins, blackberry, pepper, chocolate. Very good acidity and excellent port-like length. Huge structure here and will last 5 yrs for sure. “The oak does not overpower the fruit/rich black fruits” thought my fellow taster.

A must-buy for sure if you come across this delight!

I’ve had this quite a few times and beyond the fact that it is the most tannic dessert wine I’ve ever tasted, it is incredibly concentrated with fresh, vibrant black and purple fruits. I like it alot and have tasted this from several vintages and always find them really solid and built for serious 10-15 years of aging.

Bob, I liked your note a lot, but think that 5 years for this wine is quite an understatement. :slight_smile:
