Torbreck, The Sporran, Barossa Valley

Maturing barossa Shiraz in the drinking window. Quite nicely balanced, little tannin, integrated fruit, drinking really nicely.

Nice leather and some fruit still on the nose. Not much brick for an 11 year old. Still plenty of tannins and full in the mouth. Long finish

Still very young. Needs more time to develop the Shiraz complexity. Try again in 2020.

Yum

Wonderful wine. Big bold Shiraz. Luscious fruit. Drinking at its prime. Sad it's my last bottle

Probably would've expected more from an 8 yo wine. Whilst it was quite nice and smooth, it hadn't developed the wow factor I would have expected from a wine of this age.

Big fruit driven Barossa shiraz. excellent length with integrated tannins. drinking well now but still has life

Huge bouquet with solid tannins and musky nose. Amazing fruit upfront on the pallet with length of dark chocolate and velvet finish. Big wine and another year or so that the hold could be great. Wednesday legs...

Very good

Very good

Note as outstanding as the Gask, but still a complex Barossa shiraz showing incredible depth of fruit.
