My last bottle. A surprising wine from younger vines, this is meant to be the "low end" wine from Torbreck. However, this wine has taken awhile to show its true potential. Excellent clarity with some brickishness at the edges. Still quite vibrant with at least another 5-7 years left in it. The mataro shows through strongly, but mixes well with the more forceful Aussie Grenache. The candied cherry mixes with a slight funkiness to give away the mataro, but intrigue you to want to know more. Obviously fined and filtered (no sediment to speak of at 11 years old) this is a restrained Barossa red, but very elegant. This is no "juvenile" but a precocious mistress, a Lolita, if you will. Worth seeking out. Worth having again. Dave Powell understands what this wine can be. Bravo. — 12 years ago
