POESIA TORRONTES - 2007

From Mendoza, Argentina with over 14% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Yellow color with wonderful aromatics. Tremendous nose full of floral, tropical fruit, and honeysuckle. On the palate, some apple underneath. Lots of acidity with honey on the finish.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

86 PTS

This is a great wine with one major flaw. The back-end is too hot. It chokes the finish and seriously detracts from the wine. Without the heat, it would be an 89 PT wine for me. For $10, there's still good value here but I'm not as high on it as I would have liked to be.
