2004 Torbreck The Steading
Torbreck
A Proprietary Blend Dry Red Table wine from
Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia
Wine Advocate # 167
Oct 2006 Robert Parker 93 Drink 2006 - 2016 $26-$38 (35)
David Powell takes pride in his Chateauneuf du Pape-styled The Steading, and the 2004 (a 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, and 20% Shiraz blend aged 22 months in old wood) is a superb example of this cuvee. Its deep plum/ruby color is accompanied by a big, rich bouquet of resiny pine forest scents interwoven with kirsch liqueur, blackberries, pepper, and spice. Full-bodied, pure, heady, complex, and nuanced, it should drink well for 7-10 years.
