點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：14022

Borderline exotic on the nose, with aromas of black cherry, violet and a touch of earthy leather. The palate has some prickle and snap to it, but it settles into lively black plum and boysenberry. Finishes smooth, ripe and big, with medium length. The coupage is 80% Syrah and 20% Monastrell.——M.S.(2/1/2008)—— 87

As we noted in an earlier article, this wine represents Torres’ attempt at the so-called “modern Mediterranean” style. It features 80% Syrah and 20% Monastrell, and it comes across as successfully New World. The color is violet, the nose sweet and young, with a hint of toffee and marshmallow. The plump palate and chocolaty finish should please those who crave size and ripeness from their red wine.——M.S.(12/31/2004)—— 88
