Nose of flint, roasted nuts. Grapefuit, meyer lemon, melon rind and dust. Really complex and wonderfully executed

I guess I'm just used to the pure fruit aspect in traditional Torrontes ( no oak) this is very ripe and can handle the oak fermentation (3 months) medium toast French barrels. Probably barriques. Although the bright crisp rounded flavors of non oak is better.

Very well structured and not as much of a liar as this wine can be.
