Torbreck R/Rig 2013

Product Description

Produced from a blend of 98.5% Shiraz and 1.5% Viognier the wine was matured in a combination of new and old French barriques for a period of 30 months. Magnificent impenetrable inky black core with a very deep dark red black hue. Heady liqueur like aromas of liquorice, blackberries and dark plum laced with dark chocolate and lightly toasted vanillin oak waft from the glass with subtle nuances of exotic spices as end notes. Incredibly rich and powerful, decadent flavours of liquorice, dark plums, blackberries and black cherries drape themselves across the palate like liquid satin. Beneath the torrent of rich opulent fruit lies nuances of toasty vanillin oak, dark chocolate, subtle dried apricot and exotic spices. Velvet smooth tannins give the wine a silky feel. Finishes exceptionally long and luscious with an aftertaste of liquorice, dark plums, blackberries, ripe black cherries, vanillin oak, dark chocolate and exotic spices.
