Crios de Susana Balbo
Torrontes - 2010
Salta, Argentina
The Crios torrontes was as I expected, very light in color with a floraly-herbaceous nose with sparks of grapefruit, honeysuckle, and melon. It tasted exactly like it smells. I was struck how much this version presented itself as a grassy sauvignon blanc. It was a bit one note and almost too sweet for me. This is an excellent after dinner white for people looking for something with a floral character but is not as perfumey and sweet as a muscat.
Boyfriend liked it, I wasnt thrilled, but I didn't dislike it. It wouldn't be my first choice but I wouldn't turn it down either.
