Torbreck The Laird Shiraz 2017 is the flagship single-vineyard Shiraz from Torbreck, sourced from the Gnadenfrei vineyard in Marananga, Barossa Valley. It undergoes extended maturation in new French oak barriques from Dominique Laurent.
Tasting Note:
Nose: An intense and opulent bouquet bursts forth with concentrated aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and hints of licorice and mocha. Savory notes of roasting meats and a touch of cedar add further complexity.
Palate: The palate is profoundly rich and full-bodied, displaying layers of concentrated black fruit flavors, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and exotic spice. Melt-in-the-mouth, mineral-edged tannins provide exceptional structure and length.
Finish: Extraordinarily long and powerful, the finish echoes the intense dark fruit and spice, leaving a lasting impression of depth, purity, and remarkable balance. This is a benchmark Barossa Shiraz built for significant cellaring
