2005 Torbreck Cuvee Juveniles
Almost translucent black crimson colour with brick crimson hue. Red rope liquorice, cherry and strawberry on the nose, above hints of tar, fennel and soy sauce. the palate is light and lively, flavours of wog cherries in a jar, strawberry, dried herbs, liquorice allsorts and tar. Fans out on the finish like good pinot, giving a sour cherry & spice kick before the long sour cherry aftertaste. Actually drinking really well, but won’t get any better. A pleasant surprise. 1.5, 5, 7. 13.5/20
