[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2014

MATTHEW JUKES 19.5 POINTS!  
GOURMET TRAVELLER 96 POINTS!  

 

“This is a near perfect wine (19.5/20) and it is the nose which lets you know, in a moment, that you are in the presence of greatness. The old oak mantra here has allowed this wine’s fruit to shine. It is creamy, indulgent, brovaded and luxurious, but at the same time the finish is refreshing, buoyant, feisty and alive. I cannot remember a The Factor this balanced or this composed. It is one of the wines of the year.” - Matthew Jukes, May 2017

“A typical, impressive Torbreck in its super-ripeness, density and class. Roast meat and jam aromas: plum and prune nuances. It's almost thick in the mouth, but not astringent or over-extracted. Alcohol is high but not out of kilter with the concentration.” - Gourmet Traveller Magazine

"Now for Torbreck's homage to the great old Shiraz vines of the Barossa Valley. The Factor is a 100% Shiraz sourced from Gomersal and Kalimna sub-regions, showing great concentration and purity. Given the chance to open older vintages of Torbreck The Factor, we are always blown away by their capacity to age. The depth of flavour and complexity is unsurpassed. These are truly wines everyone should try." - Winehouse

"Brooding and densely packed, this majestic wine has the constitution to cellar for many years where it will slowly unravel its extravagant riches. The reputation of the Barossa as the pre-eminent red wine growing region of Australia rests firmly on wines such as this. Delicate scents of wild blackberries, pipe smoke and pepper are supported by a dark core of espresso roast, black currants and coal. The palate offers tremendous texture and combines great richness with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather and minerals." - Torbreck
