Torbreck 2010 The Factor Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Shiraz
Winery: Torbreck / The Factor

The Torbreck wines, with the emphasis they place on ripeness, can sometimes be controversial. This one is full bodied and rich, with dense plum and chocolate notes that verge on being fudge-like. But those elements are lifted slightly by hints of mint and bacon. Mocha joins the party on the long finish. Drink now–2025.
