Oddly and overly aromatic, like a blast of air freshener straight to the nostrils. In the mouth it’s weakly balanced, while the flavors don’t rise above pineapple juice and mealy melon. ——M.S.(10/1/2011)—— 81

From a global wine bottler named Xavier Flouret, this Torrontes is a full-fruited, oily specimen. The nose boasts lychee, perfume and acacia, while the palate pumps out melon and apple flavors. Big it is; precise it’s not. But it’s rewarding. “Flaca” may mean skinny in Spanish, but this wine is far from that.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 87
