Tasting - Atlas Cumbres Torrontes

Atlas Cumbres Torrontes

Variety: Torrontes (100%) - signature white grape of Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2009
Price: $8.95
Shop 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: Peach and canteloupe come through on the nose. Very aromatically unique. If I concentrate my nose real hard, it smells like rubber. There is a unique floral smokiness on the mid-palate. 
I did not have food with this tasting.
