- TASTING NOTE: Blueberry, mulberry, blackberry and black plum leap from the glass and meld effortlessly with graphite, sandalwood, liquorice and dark cocoa chocolate. On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with abundant black and blue fruits and soft round tannins and an earthy forest floor note adding complexity. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel along a line of soft plush tannins and glossy fruits. A true pleasure that will reward for up to fifteen years but probably best in the first ten. Ready from 2026. Serve at 16C/55F with Texas BBQ rib, or any of your favourite steaks. Torbreck
