點擊次數：4849

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. Importer: Small Vineyards, Seattle, WA; tel.

The 2006 Torrette Superieur offers up generous, super-ripe, candied fruit in a sweet, expansive style. Texturally the wine is quite reminiscent of Pinot Noir in its weightless personality. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012. I was very impressed with the wines I tasted from Anselmet, a small estate located in the Valle d’Aosta, one of Italy’s most rugged regions. The high-end reds in particular are of note. Anselmet favors small French barrels for their top reds, but the wines have so much stuffing the oak is barely perceptible.
