This is the sort of thing I expect from the Barossa. Fairly larger than life, even with Grenache in the lead here. Also, a lovely freshness and mineral component. Still lively, still lovely. But drink soon-ish.

Acheté lors de la grande dégustation MTL 2015. Très bon GSM. Complexe, riche, ample, le vin nous en met plein la bouche. Un excellent équilibre nous apporte une belle fraicheur malgré la richesse typique des cépages et de la provenance du vin. Longue finale. J'ai adoré !

Torbreck masterclass (SF Wine Center): GSM: 56%g 23s 21m Medium minus ruby-red to a slight garnet rim (slight signs of age). Pronounced white pepper on the nose, supported by ripe blackberry with some overripe peach/stone-fruit. Full-bodied, high alcohol (15%), elevated acid, low tannins. No oak influence, but there is a fresh earthiness to this. Not bad for $30.
Score: Between 8.5 and 9.

Nose is initially dull, but notes of raspberry and rhubarb emerge with time, alongside hints of blackberry and cola. Palate shows bright, bold fruit, with flavours of beetroot, cola, pepper, and fennel fronds. Mouthfeel is acid-dominant, savoury, and peppery.
According to the Torbreck representative, this 2011 is much less ripe, so it's not representative of this wine in general.
