Torbreck The Factor 2003
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe most Barossa like of all Torbreck shiraz 'The Factor is openly peppery with minty, garrigue, and blackberry jam aromas spiked with licorice, mineral, leather, mocha, lead pencil and barnyard notes. Rich, ripe, round, supple palate that is warm but fresh. Juicy blackberry, plum, garrigue, leather, licorice, peppery, minty, blueberry flavours with a savoury, rootsy, mineral finish. Viscous, rich style with finesse. Needs three to years more in bottle.Tasted: 21 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $145.99 | 750ml | specialty |
