Such an elegant Shiraz, for its kind of course. Expressive nose, still berries and flowers. Then blackberry and blueberry. Some redcurrant too. Touches of liquorice. Violets. Bit gamey. Lovely acidity. Still relatively fresh. Medium plus length. Such a lovely wine, so balanced. And still drinking very well.

Classic Torbreck profile - rich, sweet fruitcake notes, along with menthol and violet. There are quite a lot of tertiary notes in the background: leather, herbs, underbrush and some toasted oak. However the profile is dominated by the opulent primary dark fruits. This is big bodied but the structure has melted away and is now quite soft. Nonetheless this is a gorgeous wine today. Long and complex, drink now, don't wait.

Made from raisins not grapes?
14% thankfully but the fruit profile is so ripe.
You have to be in the mood for this style.

Smooth, bold and no longer fruity. This will hold up another 3 to 5. At its peak.
