Rött vin från Barossa Valley Australien

Varför vi valt Torbreck?

« Torbreck - australskt producent i världsklass. Torbreck hör stadigt till den absoluta eliten, och husets prestigevin, the Laird, säljas till priser, som enbart matchas av Three Rivers, Penfolds Grange och Henschkes Hill of Grace. Torbrecks vinstil är en vacker förening av det klassiska Barossa-vinet och det bästa från Frankrikes Rhône-dalen. Nyanserade, mjuka viner med en nästan krämig struktur som förför redan vid första smak. Robert Parker kallar faktiskt också husets Run Rig 'La Mouline of Australia', med vilken han anspelar på singelfältscuvéen från Guigal's Hermitage, som har både skyhöga priser och poäng.»

Här redovisar och presenterar vi kända vinskribenters utlåtande om specifika viner. Utöver dessa lägger vi in en egen kommentar när vi har provat samma vin.

92/100

Plush heady notes of plum, currant and licorice open this powerful and polished Shiraz. There're also hefty helpings of savory, peppery spice. The palate is cinched by massive, drying, spicy tannins amid the silky fruit. A plate of protein is a requirement if drinking now, but this really needs a few years—from 2035 onwards—in cellar before opening to soften those tannins. Then it could age gracefully for a decade beyond that.

96/100

This is quintessential Barossa. The red dirt in the ground rises up in the glass and transports me right back there: middle summer, hot, spicy air blowing across the tops of old vines. It's evocative. This 2019 The Factor is Port-y, concentrated and savory as all hell, with charred barrels, lamb fat, black pepper, salted licorice, pomegranate molasses and aniseed. This is about as big as I can cope with and still enjoy it; it takes density and intensity to a whole new level—no surprise for the vintage, the region and the producer. A perfect storm of thunderous strength. Like staring into the abyss . . . a little bit scary, but transfixing nonetheless.

97/100

Incredible black ink, blackberry, lead pencil and granite aromas. Hints of spearmint. Bark and mushroom, too. Deep and dark with superb depth and intensity. Tight at the end but then it opens and shows a weightless sensibility. Has vineyards back to the 1900s. Drinkable but better in 2024.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

In the 27 years since its founding in 1994, Torbreck has become one of the icons of Australian wine, championing the old-vine treasures of the Barossa. This year's releases include stunning versions of the winery's top cuvées: The Laird, Les Amis and RunRig. All three rate 97 points or better, with the 2018 RunRig being this taster's personal favorite for its superb balance. Not far behind is the 2018 Descendant, which sells for a fraction of the price and is more approachable as well. That's the one that shrewd wine drinkers will seek out. Fortunately for those of us with skinnier wallets, even Torbreck's other bottlings are excellent, with special mention going to the 2018 Hillside Vineyard Grenache, from vines planted in 1949, and the 2018 The Gask, from Eden Valley vines planted in 1960. Even the entry-level Woodcutter's line is solid, with the 2020 Rosé, 2020 Semillon and 2019 Shiraz all scoring 88-90 points. In short, for consumers seeking bold, flavorful wines that reflect their origins, Torbreck is among Australia's top producers.'

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Torbreck Grundaren till Torbreck är David Powell. Man kan utan överdrift kalla detta en kometkarriär och få har fått så mycket superlativ som Torbreck av vinskribenten Robert Parker. Rötterna till egendomen går tillbaka till 1992 då David arbetade på vingården Rockford. Han fick i uppdrag att rädda ett fält med mycket gamla, uttorkade vinrankor. Efter ett hårt arbete fick han liv i plantorna igen och som belöning fick han ett stycke mark med shirazdruvor, där...
