The 2007 Torrette Superieur RA is a plump, juicy offering endowed with plenty of ripe red fruit, spices and sweet toasted oak. While the fruit is quite pretty and the wine reveals terrific generosity on the palate, the aromatics could be a touch more focused. In this vintage the Torrette Superieur reminds me of Lagrein in its slightly rough around the edges personality. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.
