Susana Balbo, Barrel Fermented Torrontés, Uco Valley

92
Tasted by: Andy Howard MW
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2023
Classic Torrontés on the nose, this barrel-fermented example is made by master winemaker Susana Balbo – who put this uniquely Argentinian wine back on the map. Ample weight and richness are evident on the palate but the oak is restrained and adds to the subtlety of this slightly smoky wine.
