Tasting- Maipe

Name: Maipe
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $ 7.95
The Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals.  On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavor and plenty of body.  Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and long finish.
My Review: The Maipe was a nice looking white wine.  The main thing that throw me off was that when I was smelling the Maipe I was not really getting anything.  I do not know if there was something wrong with my nose but I smelled nothing.  A colleague of mine that I do these tasting with said he got a rubbing alcohol smell but like I said I got nothing.  The Maipe was not my favorite that I had have and it had a weird thick after taste that I can't name.  I definitely want to try this one again to see if I will be able to smell something this time but as of right now I would give this one a  4 out of 10.
