Note di degustazione
The 2003 Shiraz/Viognier The Relic is made from 90-year-old Shiraz vines (93%) and Viognier (7%). Aged 30 months in 3- to 5-year-old French barrels, it is an opaque purple-colored offering boasting an extraordinary nose of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice, lead pencil shavings, pepper, and hints of truffles as well as white flowers. Fabulously textured, opulent, full-bodied, and marvelously concentrated, it should drink well for 12-15+ years. If you love the wines of Torbreck, you’ll also find this wine totally compelling.
