2002 Torbreck Steading Magnum

Tasting Note:

David Powell consistently excels with The Steading an 8,000 case blend of Grenache Mourvedre and Shiraz. Aged 22 months in 300 liter hogsheads (foudres) it represents Australia_s version of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2002 The Steading_s big spicy earthy nose reveals notions of cherry liqueur licorice pepper dried Provencal herbs raspberries and leather. Ripe medium to full-bodied chewy and heady it is best drunk during its first 7-8 years of life although it will last a lot longer. Source: Wine Advocate
