  Deep colour. Blackberries, black cherries, violets and hints of eucalyptus, smoke and spice on the nose. Palate: full to medium bodied, concentrated and with great intensity. A bit tight but well balanced with a long finish. Great wine.

  Deep purple, almost inky. Nose is intense - plums, blackberries and black cherries. Violets, spice and a hint of charred oak. Full to medium bodied, not big but with a nice intensity on the palate, ripe fruit and a long finish. Excellent. Looking forward to having my other two bottles with a bit more age on them.

  The tartness I ascribed to this wine when tasted initially has been replaced by a peppery tangyness backed by a full bodied red wine. It is drinking beautifully now.

  Dark black/red color.
  Smells of black fruits.
  Notes of blackberries, black currants, spices...
  Full body but not to agressive.
  Soft and pleasant tannins.
  Not a great complexity.
  Overall good wine, but I was expected much more from that bottle.
  I tried several wine from Torbreck and that one ha again a very different style. That one is typical new world.
  However, for that price I can find much better wine.
