Note di degustazione
Amazingly fresh and lifted in the glass, 1992 Torcolato mesmerizes with dusty dried peaches and pears, hints of crystalized ginger and sweet florals. This is silken and soft yet energetic in feel, with sour citrus and zesty acids enlivening the ultra-ripe orchard and tropical fruits within. The 1992 tapers off impossibly long and staining, but also remarkably fresh and perfumed, mixing kiwi and mango with hints of coconut custard. This is a Torcolato that’s seated in its prime drinking window.

This series of sweet dessert wines was truly memorable. Maculan's Torcolato is made from air-dried Vespaiola and spends roughly 12 months in French oak (1/3 new), while the top of the line Acininobili is a berry by berry selection botrytised fruit that spends two years in new French oak. I typically review the wines in the 375ml format, but all of these wines were tasted from standard 750ml bottles, which may account for their youth and vigor. Both Torcolato and Acininobili have proven to age exceptionally well, a valuable lesson I came away with after this tasting. The estate's 1992 Torcolato has taken on petrol-like aromas and flavors that recall Alsatian Riesling. Most of the primary fruit has faded, while an array of complex tar, smoke and minerals vie for center stage. This is a sumptuous, focused and utterly spellbinding Torcolato to marvel over.
