2005 Campos de Solana Coleccion de Altura - Gran Reserva

Estate: Campos de Solana
Region: Santa Ana la Nueva, Central Valley of Tarija, Bolivia
Vineyards: El Monte and El Bajo Vineyards (Fincas)


Tasting Note:November 20, 2015

Medium garnet red and not cloudy. Nose started off a little musty, with some floral notes like potpourri. Low tannins (4/10) and the body starts off slowly and ends up with a medium body. Slightly tangy on the palate and metallic near the moderate to light finish.


Could tell this was a Bordeaux blend but that was about it, did not seem to have too much new french oak. First time trying a Bolivian wine. Was a very fun experience! If this blend is similar to the 2010 it is a blend of Tannat, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
