Tasting - Altas Cumbres


Altas Cumbres
Torrontes
Argentina
2010
$5.95

Wine review: yellow colour with greenish nuances. Very intense aroma of fresh grapes, flower perfume and mature peaches. Fresh in the mouth. Light and easy to drink. Ideal with seafood, Thai and Chinese food.

My review: Light and clear yellow color. Crisp, clean, and sweet green apple on the nose. Medium body with long finish. This wine has distinctive sweet forward on the nose, but it's not sweet on the palate. The acidic components last longer than expected. It's like having a piece of lemon on my mouth for a while, and it's not extremely sour, but you can still taste the acidic component in your mouth for a long time. This will go well with some spicy seafood or spicy Korean seafood dishes since the spicy and acidic component will balance well each other.
