  Really beautiful wine. Full-bodied and carries the alcohol well. Really enjoyable and unsure how much better this can get.

  Dark red, almost impenetrable. Liquorish and blackberries, Torbreck signature. Fleshy medium bodied. Tasty with good finish. I think this is a touch overripe compared to other Torbreck wines I have had. This is alright but below my expectations, having had over a dozen Torbreck reds before.

  Wine Club - Aussie Shiraz Theme: A much more refined wine than I was anticipating. You really get a sense of the quality of the fruit. This is plush with very fine tannins. In a perfect place now and I don't know if/how this gets any better. Just an incredibly well-made wine.
  
  *Drank this in a lineup of other similarly priced Aussie Shiraz. This was the group's favourite*

  Comes from hilly Eden Valley, made by blending its 40 year old grapes with 80 year old Barossa Valley grapes, aged for 20 months in FR oak, 20% new. Deep opaque purple colour, ruby hue. Intense aroma of blackberries, blueberries, herbs, baking spice, tar, leather. Full body, at this stage it feels scattered and over-concentrated powerful fruit driven explosion with spice and chocolate hints, medium- acidity, medium tannins. Requires few more years to integrate.
