2011 Crios de Susana Balbo TorrontésArgentina more |
6/15/2012 - Outplaying wrote: NRI didn't enjoy this as much as the 2010. This bottle seemed a little more disjointed. It still has the floral nose and tropical notes and their is a little more spice. I thought the alcohol was a little more noticiable and that it didn't have quite the acidity of last year's version. I was bored with it and switched to beer but Ann and others still enjoyed it. Will try it again though I'm sure as Ann loves this wine on hot days. |

2/13/2012 - Outplaying wrote: NRAnn loves this wine. Flowery, tart lemon/citrus and a little tropical fruit. Lots of acidity and just a wee bit sweet. I always think of viognier when I taste it. A fun, inexpensive wine. |

2/25/2010 - Outplaying wrote: 83 pointsLots of dark fruits, black cherries, coffee I think and a hint of a vegetative note....maybe bell pepper. Very soft with minimal tannins and not really enough acidity. A little flabby. Tastes pretty good but lacking structure and balance. For 9 bucks - not bad I guess. (part of a collier case) |

7/11/2011 - Outplaying wrote: NRAromatics of citrus, salted butter and minerals that follow through on the palate. Some apricot, stone fruits and cream and as others have said a somewhat fuller mouthfeel, but then the finish is nice and crisp and refreshing. There is nice acidity and a long finish. We liked this quite a bit and will pick up a few more. |

8/15/2014 - Outplaying wrote: NRI didn't really like the nose on this and have a hard time describing it. Something green about it. The wine is ripe and fruity but it is dry and has good acid. Some tobacco and rocky notes. Not in my wheelhouse. |

2006 El Fogon TorrontésMaipú more |
6/9/2008 - Outplaying wrote: 88 pointsThe nose was excellent -- layers of aromas -- tropical fruit with some floral that was difficult for me to identify -- possibly viognier-like? Really loved the nose. Taste was more complex than expected. Totally unfamiliar with this grape so no expectations -- had a creaminess like a chard, and was probably a tad on the sweet side, but very pleasant to drink -- wish I had more than one glass of it but had to share with others! |

4/16/2015 - Outplaying wrote: NRBottle has been open for a day, under cork on the counter. Some coffee and chocolate on the nose. Tart red and black fruits. Some oak and I thought a hint of caramel on the palate. Ann really liked it. This will appeal to many but it's not really my preferred style. Solid though. |
