Lunch at Wa-I. By the glass housepour. Tasted blind.
Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, lemon colour. Thin legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of soapy flowers, nectar, green limes, Muscat grape aroma. Youthful.
On the palate, slight off-dry, good high acidity, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of soapy sweet white grapes, ripe guava, sweet citrus limes. Medium finish extending with more air and as it warms up.
Very good quality. Nice Torrontes with good acidity. Drink it young fresh and crisp.

Good smell, a bit fruity, not enough dry to my taste.

Prior note applies overall. Changes are: the tannins have loosened their grip somewhat, it is smoother overall, some secondary notes of smoked meat and black olives have arisen. Bing cherry has dropped whereas the blueberry seems more prominent now.
Overall a really great value and I think could handle at least another year of cellar time, probably 2. But where it's at right now I like very much.

Edit:
It began to fall apart slightly after 7 hours. This is best drunk within that timeframe. It's good to go right from the uncorking.

Een nieuw etiket maar dezelfde wijn als voorheen.
Oog: Kristalhelder, vol, geelgroen, grote viscositeit, veel maar trage tranen.
Neus: Zuiver en vol, aroma's van bloemen, peer, citrus, lychee abrikoos, ananas, sinaasappel, roze pompelmoes.
Mond: Frisse aanzet en mooi evenwicht tussen zuren en molligheid met een bittertje. Een heerlijke lange afdronk van 4 a 5 sec. Gaat goed samen met exotische schotel, gerookte vis, maar ook heerlijk als aperitief of op een terrasje. Elk jaar opnieuw in mijn kelder.

Pale straw in color; peaches, rose petals, and citrus zest on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like lemon, perfume, and lychee (I think). Nellie says it's ok. A little too tart for her tastes. I like it and I think it will pair well with ceviche.

Lots of dark fruit but with a good dose of acidity. Not quite the bitterness of tannins.

Floral, tropical fruit start like most Torrontes but then transitions to greener herbal notes. Good acidity & mouthfeel all contribute to a really enjoyable wine.

12/15/2023 - TheSagePalate Does not like this wine: 86 points

The wine is garnet purple in color, acid is high, tannins medium plus, alcohol is high, dry, and finish is long.

Aromas are muffled behind a high alcohol note, but present as blackberries, vanilla and oak. A hint of brett.

On the palate, rich fruity blackberries and a light layer of vanilla and oak.

Subjectively, this tasted a bit cheap to me.

Impressive aromatic nose. Nice Lychee on the palate with good acidity. Very refreshing and a nice departure from more popular white varieties. Good QPR.

One of the the benchmark Torrentes for me. Very floral honeysuckle, elderflower. Intense nose and flavor. Medium acidity, and good finish. Best on its own. Love it!

Holy cow, powerful aromatics, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, kiwi, lychee, and cut grass. Pleasant acidity, although the palate isn’t as interesting as the wham-bam nose.

On nose and palate: green peach, bitter almonds, witbier hops( in a good way) and ripe pear, on a clean acidic medium body....lacks the complexity of the Colome Torrontes , but a servicable seafood wine.

6/15/2023 - chrisk525 Likes this wine: 89 points

Inky, dark, color. Licorice, anise, concentrated black berries. Fine polished tannins, smooth, moderate finish. Vick's or Nyquil type aromas.

Not what I expeced...smoother than i thought, more licorice and cough syrup than I thought. I don't love it but I think I like it. I might really like it, but not a love. I'll try again in a few days.

UPDATE: After a few more glasses, I appreciate this more. Still not a love, but it's a simple daily sippable malbec with good concentration and intensity. Bit linear without much development and a bit too menthol and anise licorice, but still tasty.

An aromatic easy drinking crisp Torrontes. Pale lemon colour. Intense youthful and fresh aroma of passionfruit, pineapple, ripe pears, peaches, roses. Medium body, palate is dry and fragrant with high acidity and intense flavours of passionfruit, pineapple, grapefruits, grassy notes, medium finish.

Inky purple in the glass with a garnet meniscus that tinges slightly orange with time.
A lovely nose of candied violets, blueberries, and thyme.
The palate extends those aromatic notes along a deep vein of mocha and ripe bing cherry. The tannins are integrating nicely and holding the structure up to a fine acidic top note.
It's not a powerhouse wine, but it is elegant, smooth, and well balanced with a moderately long finish of allspice and supple leather.
Still a touch young for my taste but showing well nonetheless.

Lacks character. Dry and tannic but lacks fruit or anything that pops out. Maybe a little cherry? That doesn't add much anyway.
