Aromas of haystack and oiliness lead into a stalky flavor profile that centers on bitterness and pithy citrus. Salty notes, green melon and more bitterness work the finish.

The nose on this clunky Torrontés suggests apricot juice and talcum powder. The palate is flat in feel, with bitter, pithy citrus flavors of grapefruit and nectarine. Beyond that there's little to it.

Seems slightly mealy on the nose, and then comes a tired set of flavors that includes mushy apple and spice. Finishes easy but dilute, with a pithiness that's normal for the variety. It's the current vintage but it already seems passé.
