  • 2009 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontés 90 Points

    Argentina, Valles Calchaquíes, Salta

    Pale yellow wine with a medium body. The nose envelops you with ripe mango, some citrus and a hint of soapiness. The taste is mango, citrus and nicely round. The finish is rich mango which grows to fill your mouth and then holds for a nice medium length finish. Not so complex, but the ripe mango gives it a very opulent feel.
