wood toast and menthol

warm earth and a hint of leather

so this wine is approachable young but still firm and concentrated enough to warrant cellaring for 5-7 years from the vintage

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Voghera Brea has blossomed into a far more beautiful wine than I could have ever imagined when it was first released

Torbreck, The Gask Brut Zero wood toast and mentholThe Gask is a relatively new wine made since 2005 from 100% Shiraz sourced from a single vineyard in the Eden Valley planted in 1960. The 2008 The Gask gives a very deep garnet purple color and intense warm berry, kirsch, creme de cassis and wilted roses aromas plus a whiff of prunes. Very full bodied with plenty of ripe, rich fruit it has a nice backbone of crisp acid and medium level fine grained tannins supporting it through the long finish.
