Torbreck Description
A perennial favourite, Grenache from old vines shows its ability to exhibit lifted florals, red juicy fruit characters such as wild cherry, raspberry and pomegranate. The addition of Rhone varietals Counoise and Carignan add a savoury complexity complementing Mataro aromas of beef jerky and Chinese five spice. The palate exhibits a medium-bodied texture from this Rhone blend with long acidity balancing a fruit freshness
around a slightly firmer tannin profile than previous vintages. Serve with an array of cuisines including spicy dishes at or below 16 degrees Celsius. Enjoy from release -7 years
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
There’s quite a savory, earthy edge to this Rhône-based blend. Plump Damson plum fruit, fresh violets, cumin and a slight charred-beets nuance opens. It’s a medium-bodied bottling with supple, satiny fruit and quite chiseled, savory tannins. Finds a lovely place between texture and succulence.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This red features a core of fresh crushed raspberry and maraschino cherry flavors that are generous and fleshy, with a thread of juicy acidity and details of green tea and nutmeg. The tannins are so supple and polished they’re practically creamy, further adding to this wine’s elegance. Grenache, Mataro, Carignan, Counoise and Shiraz. Drink now through 2033.
