peach and orange blossom. There is a honey sweetness in this wine. not RS, but just part of that orange blossom expression. i don't really remember torrontes being such a rich expression. maybe that's what they're going for here.

Clean straw colour, the nose has good spices (clove and nutmeg) as well as some sour green apple, and some hint of flowers (jazmine), but has a not very pleasant laque aroma which dilutes as it breathes, but I think the aromas are a bit muted at first. The mouth is crisp and dry, not too acidic and not too hot even for a 13.5% Alc (hot for a white), it is also full of spices and has a relatively long finish. Good quality, good price, just would be a bit austere and dry if you look for a more fruity white. Didn't disappointed me, specially for the price, not my cup of tea but won't mind drinking it again.

Was not expecting too much at this price point, but was pleasantly surprised. Not a robust flavor but pleasant. Still find hints of nutmeg, which we seem to find in many Torrontes. At this price would re-purchase.

Just ok. Not a flowery nose like some others. Flavor is much more subtle than other Torrontes. Slight hint of nutmeg or almond, not much else. Prefer others like Phebus, Alamos.
