Winery - Tomero
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tomero is a new line from the Carlos Pulenta group, and this one sings the tale of Salta with sincerity. You get telling acacia and lychee aromas, but none of the cheap perfume that can sometimes ruin the variety. The palate is lightly oily but linear, while the papaya, citrus and melon flavors just roll along.

After starting out somewhat murky and muddled, it gets to better footing. The palate is thick and meaty, with sweet, semibaked fruit flavors and a handful of carob nibs. More carob and an herbal element work the finish, and overall the wine is good and substantive even if it doesn’t stand out.

A little funky and animal-like upon opening, but meatier and better later on. The palate is ripe and slightly medicinal, with drawn plum and berry flavors riding on a wave of hard tannins. Dark toffee and chocolate flavors on the finish, but also some heat.

Sweet and candied on the nose, with marshmallow, cotton candy, chocolate-dipped cherry and dustiness. The palate has a pure feel and good ripeness, with flavors of herbal berry, toast, coffee and spice. Warm, chocolaty and oaky, with a lasting mocha flavor.

A bit rooty and smoky on the nose, with grapey, loud flavors of sweet berry, black plum and chocolate. The palate is full of choppy acids that keep it pumping forth, while the finish is richer and more chocolaty, with fig notes. A bruiser, but one that’s very good for varietal PV.

Yellow-ish in color, heavy on the nose, more oily than in the past, and with an aroma of cheap perfume. The wine has high acidity, a zesty bite, but not much in the middle, and thus the flavors of mango, melon and papaya are wan. Good for quaffing but not on a par with previous years.

Good red fruit on the opening and spicy. Ripe, intense and warming in the mouth, with a broad-sweeping wave of plum and raspberry. Feels a little creamy and then drying on the finish, with medium depth and lasting heat. Due to high alcohol and a related burn it needs food, i.e. anything off the grill.

Bright fruit, mildly creamy, with good zest and acidity. Shows a sweet, savory center with hints of brown sugar and spice sitting along the edges. Easy tannins make it a friendly style; good for near-term drinking. No cellaring necessary.

Robust, deep and candied on the nose, with rooty richness, medicinal notes and complexity. The palate is smooth, meaty, healthy and suave, with lush black fruit, prune and earthy flavors. Long, likable and showing a lot of depth and structure. Drink now through 2014.

Gold in color, with a heavy, mature, resiny nose. But just when you think it’s over the hill and overoaked, the palate offers acidity and character. Flavors of apple, melon and spice are barrel-influenced, while acidity props up the finish. Drink now; contains 10% Chardonnay.
