Note di degustazione
The 2010 The Laird comes from vines first planted back in 1958 on a southwest-facing slope in the Barossa. This magnum has a marvellous bouquet with ripe dark cherries, menthol, blood oranges and mint and is well-defined and quite youthful. Subtle pine notes emerge with time. The palate is ripe on the entry, medium-bodied with white pepper and sage and finely balanced with an attractive melted quality on the finish. Given the larger format, I wondered whether 75cl bottles would show more evolution. As such, based on this, I would be opening the cork now. (NM)

Very deep purple-black colored, Torbreck's 2010 The Laird offers an extraordinary perfume of Chinese five spice, sandalwood, rose petals, espresso and licorice over a core of prunes, dried mulberries and blackcurrant preserves plus a touch of cloves. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and packed with dried black fruits and exotic spice flavors, the generous fruit is structured with velvety tannins and just enough freshness. It finishes with commendable persistence.
