The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree Torrentes 2022
Red 14% ABV ABV RiccitelliDecent but not blown away
Saw some hype about Riccitelli wines online so gave this a go. It's perfectly nice — smells great and has some depth to it. But for what you're paying I expected a bit more wow factor. Not bad by any means, just didn't live up to my expectations.
Really impressed with this one
Picked this up from a local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. There's a lot going on in the glass — every sip tastes a bit different which I love. The alcohol doesn't hit you at all despite being 14%, and it's got this clean finish that just makes you want another glass. Would definitely buy again.
Good find from the wine shop
The guy at my local recommended this when I said I wanted something interesting under £20. It's well made — you can tell there's some craft behind it. The finish lingers in a really pleasant way. I'm still learning about Argentine reds but this felt like a step up from the usual supermarket stuff.
Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present for myself because I loved the name. Let it sit in the glass for a few minutes and the aromas really opened up. Properly complex wine that kept surprising me through the bottle. Had it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was perfect.
Solid red, bit pricey though
A friend brought this to a dinner party and it went down well with everyone. Nice balanced fruit, not too sweet, good acidity. At nearly £17 though I'd say it's fine but there are similar wines for less. Would drink it again if someone else was buying!
