Tasting Notes and Scores

95 LP

Medium garnet colored, the 2012 The Factor has a nose of baked cherries, blackberry preserves and prunes with spice box and incense nuances. The palate is dense and rich with dried berries and fruit compote flavors accented with baking spices and framed by grainy tannins, finishing long and surprisingly gentle.

Matured for 2 years in predominantly older oak. Torbreck is one of the arch high priests of the thunderous alcohol school. This is nothing to do with the departure of former winemaker David Powell, and doesn't reflect my personal opinion of the style which has its adherents, and within its idiom is imposing. Shiraz. Drink by 2032.
