Hi Dale and All,

Have you tried any Uruguayan Tannat wines, similar to the SW Madiran
appelation?

See a fancy Uruguayan syndicate website, http://www.tannatland.com
As an up&coming vino industry, they sure seem to have their world act
together. [I have yet to find a Alain Brumont, Bouscasse, Montus
website]

>From my first pass, an interesting Tannat to consider is

Carlos Pizzorno,Bodega, http://www.pizzornowines.com/english/index.html
Don Prospero Tannat Reserva 2004, 6 wks in vat, Gold Medal Vinalies
Paris

Any tasting comments? A winestore in Minneapolis has a Uy Tannat and a
Montus!


Regards, Phil
