Nose is subdued by some Torrontes standards; white pepper spiciness with acacia, mint, pineapple, mandarin peel.

Round and structured on the palate, mid+ acidity and beautifully balanced. Fruits and herbal characteristics in equal portion, with a long savoury finish.

Drinking well now, but am looking forward to see how this is in another 3-5 years.

Tasted October 2019.
