Review: With an intense, bright yellow color with gold traces, the wine has delicate floral and rose aromas, with orange peel and toasted bread notes. On the palate, there are elegant and fresh citrus, peach and anise flavors shaped by excellent acidity. The fruit has a ripe character. Food Match: scallops, salmon, quiche, pate, chicken, asparagus. Wine Advocate The 2007 Don David Torrontes was sourced from 45-50-year-old vines. It offers up a superior bouquet of spring flowers, honey, and tropical aromas leading to a dry, elegant version of Torrontes. It has excellent balancing acidity, a smooth texture, and a lengthy finish. Torrontes does not get much better than this. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. Score: 90. —Jay Miller, December 2008. Wine Enthusiast Citrus, acacia blossom and patchouli oil give this an interesting and true-to-Cafayate bouquet. The palate delivers a shot of lychee fruit along with tangerine and melon, with lemon meringue pie to finish. One of Argentina’s better Torrontes; drink now. Score: 87. —Michael Schachner, February 01, 2008
