What a Torrontes! A shade to waxy for me but that gives way to a luscious finish I'm not accustomed to with this grape (attribute to oak barrel and single vineyard harvest). Classic minerality with ripe white peaches and acacia flowers on the nose. Fantastic. I haven't tasted a Torrontes this exquisite since my last time in Buenos Aires.
