Pisano Cisplatino Pequeña Reserva Tannat Merlot 2012

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Deep purple with loads of smokey blackberry, plum, blueberry, as well as a touch of earthiness and mint. The taste is big and well structured thanks to the Tannat, and has flavours of blackberry, plum, and cherry. Great value in this wine. Pair it with rare red meats or hard cheeses.

Heather Wall rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Full-on fresh berry basket juiciness on the nose and palate. Pretty ruby with a purple hue in the glass with some slow moving legs. Dry, medium(+) acidity and youthful tannins. Nice effort from a region I'm not overly familiar with.

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

It's exciting to see a new wine nation come into maturity on the wine market. This may seem like an obscure grape varietal from a strange place to grow wine, but Uruguay has turned a lot of heads with quality viticulture, which they have been practicing as long as their other South American contemporaries.
Very deep brick-red, with purple hues.
Aromas of iron shavings, earth, bramble, plums, and a hint at the minerality.
Flavours of beets, prune, cherry sauce, dark chocolate with a smokey finish. It decanted nicely - give it an aggressive decanting and let it sit maybe twenty minutes.
Pair it with steak frites, or perhaps onion soup. If it still seems strange, think how strange it must have been, decades ago, for people to hear Chile is growing Carmenere. Hopefully we'll see more from Uruguay available in Ontario.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From Uruguay's cool climate viticulture, a very exciting and elegant wine with aromatic ripe red berries and vanilla on the nose, leading to an expressive palate bursting with red berries, plums, spice and oak. Great acidity and lingering spicy finish.
