[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck Descendant Shiraz Viognier 2012

eRobertParker.com 97+ points!
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Descendent offers gorgeously pure notes of violets, vanilla and cinnamon stick over a core of black cherry, blackberry and wild blueberry notes plus and hint of cloves. Full-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick house, the spectrum of flavors, ripe, abundant tannins, clever balance and epically long finish make this a Descendent that rivals its forefather."

"Single vineyard shiraz from Roennfeldt Road, which could be considered a Barossa Valley dress circle address. There’s also viognier planted on the site; it’s picked ripe, pressed, and the skins are used in this wine. Sees no new oak.

Brilliant garnet/black colour in the glass. Seductive, spicy, red and black fruit scented wine. Perfume, musk, whiffs of graphite-like minerals. It’s a brilliant Barossa entry. Silky-textured, fresh, firm, long and dart-shaped in the palate. Pulls out some ripe fruit flavour and choc-milk tannins, but there’s an elegance and sleekness that is undeniably attractive. Finishes long with saline acidity and light tug of suede tannins. Sophisticated Barossa."
