Apr 26th, 2016Very similar to the other Argentinian Torrontes I've had so far: potpourri nose dripping with lychee and jasmine, and maybe the tiniest hint of lime zest. Pleasantly sweet but well balanced with mouthwatering acid that lingers. The palate and finish deliver slightly more citrus--lime and sweet grapefruit--to the ever-present potpourri. This is very nice in the mouth, though the pungent lychee of the nose gets wearisome. Can't fault the typicity!

A fun Torrontés- citrus, lychee, and white blossoms. Can always count on this Catena brand for great price to value here.

Smells of under ripe peaches, green apple, and pineapple also with a strong floral sense. High acidity with fine grain tannins. Tastes of white peaches, lime, and perhaps mango with a moderately sly or sour finish.
