Tasting-Don Manuel Torrontes

Name:  Don Manuel Torrontes
Variety:  Torrontes
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2010
Price:  $13.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  90 points, Wine Enthusiast.  A really good and clean white wine with all the tropicality and zest that this Argentine variety can give.  The nose is crystalline and pure, with white flower scents of jasmine and citrus blossom, while the palate is round, melony and full of lychee and papaya.  Smooth on the finish.  Drink soon-M.S.

My Review:  This wine smelled like faint vomit.  The smell made me very hesitant to taste it.  To my surprise, the taste was not as bad as it smelled.  The taste was clean and smooth at the end.  The after taste was a little sour.  I did not eat any food at the tasting.
