The purple-colored 2005 Tagonius Mariage is a 50-50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 70% new French oak. The nose displays an aromatic array of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, espresso, mineral, and black currant. Smooth-textured, sweetly fruited, and elegant, this impeccably balanced, lengthy offering will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring and drink well through 2020.
Bodegas Tagonius’s new collection is first-class.
