SUSANA BALBO) |
| This is one of 75 items (134 releases) not presented to taste under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The recommended 2016 (**+) with 89-points as released on March 3, 2018 at $19.95. Here is my previous note: Extremely pale straw colour. Intense, spicy, complex, lime-tinged, ripe melon-lemon-apple puree notes with some slightly reductive, peach pit notes. Dry, medium bodied, extremely bright, very spicy, mineral-tinged,intense, ripe lime-melon-apple-lemon flavours with a lingering, very crisp, very faintly toasty finish. This barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L16H24 06/10/17 on the back label. Screwcap closure. A GOOD BET! |

| TASTING NOTE: First produced as recently as 2012, Susana Balbo's oaked white tastes like a Torrontés crossed with a top Sauvignon Blanc, such is its focus, minerality and acidity. Tangy and saline, it's skillfully oaked, with new wood folded into the wine. The source - Paraje Altamira - is everything here. Drink Date: 2018-2022. Score - 95 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2018) |
