TORBRECK THE FACTOR 2003 (2)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.
2 x scuffed labels.

Its smoky perfume of blackberry liqueur intermixed with cherries, acacia flowers, and espresso roast is followed by a full-throttle, multi-layered palate as well as a 60-second finish. This stunning Shiraz should drink well for 10-15+ years. October 2005 WA 96

TORBRECK THE STRUIE 2004 (2)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.
1 x scuffed label.

An exotic bouquet of blackberries and other sweet fruits is followed by a full-bodied, powerful, rich red with great purity as well as focus, a laser-like precision, huge intensity, and a blockbuster finish that lasts nearly a minute. It will be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age, and should last for two decades. October 2006 WA 96

YALUMBA SHIRAZ THE OCTAVIUS 2002 (2)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.
1 x scuffed label.

Deep garnet-brick colored, the 2002 The Octavius (Shiraz Old Vine) is wonderfully spicy and peppery with fragrant Indian spice and sandalwood complementing a core of prunes and baked blackberries. Medium to full-bodied, voluptuous and velvety, the palate is opulent and exotic, finishing with great depth and persistence. June 2017 Drink: 2017-2027 WA 97
