Tasting Notes :
Torbreck The Factor Shiraz, 2018.
"From old vines—some well over a century—in two subregions of northwestern Barossa,
this has all the classic Torbreck red hallmarks.
With a nose you could drive straight into, it's a bottomless well of plump plum,
blackberry, mocha, black olive and bay leaf, with a cedar base notes.
The mouthfeel is luscious with concentrated fruit and powerful, well-placed tannins.
There's some alcohol heat here and a sheen of high gloss oak, too,
but like a well-tailored suit or a timeless black dress,
it has decades of shelf life and will always be in fashion.
Drink over the next 20 years. Christina Pickard"
