91Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Woodcutters Shiraz doesn’t miss a beat in this difficult vintage. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is scented of cassis, black plums and macerated blackberries over nuances of charcoal, black pepper, smoked duck breast and violets. Full-bodied and packed with black berry and savory meat and mineral flavors, it is nicely poised in the mouth with a taut backbone of medium level rounded tannins and just enough acid, finishing with a good persistence of pepper and spice notes. Drink this one now to 2018+.
Product Description:
Dense, rich and opulent, this wine combines great fruit purity
with texture, complexity and finesse. It is elegant, structured and powerful and
is a fantastic introduction to the Torbreck range.
Whilst offering immense pleasure in its youth the 2011 Woodcutter’s Shiraz
will no doubt develop into an impressive wine with a few years in the cellar. - Winery
