Returns Simplified.Torbreck, founded in 1994 by David Powell, is situated at Marananga on the western ridge of the Barossa. Since that time he has produced some of the world’s finest ‘Rhone varietal’ wines, exclusively from Barossa fruit; this has been acknowledged by the wine press in Europe, America and Australia.
A wine of immense pleasure on the nose of violets, red currant, wild raspberry, Chinese five spice and pomegranate aromas. Cleansing acidity drives the wine to finish fresh and alive with plenty of mid palate texture and old vine Grenache complexities to give this wine plenty of promised maturity in the cellar.
94 Points – James Suckling
Pomegranate and spiced berry-pastry aromas, together with earthy, leathery and spicy character. The cooler vintage has delivered quite complex style. The palate has a very juicy feel with a bolder oak thread and quite a chiseled palate for grenache. Plenty of structure here.
93 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
No Les Amis was bottled in 2016, so the successor to the 2015 is the 2017 Les Amis Grenache, a wine that spent two years in 50% new barriques. It’s smoky (like a barbecue pit), boasting lots of dried spices (akin to a dry rub) and cola.
90 Points – Wine Enthusiast
Made with French barrique (50% new), there’s so much of it that it’s currently blanketing the wine, giving it a coat of sweet vanilla cola. Hiding beneath are lovely, ripe black and blue fruit, flowers and spice. The palate shows more fruit purity, a silky texture and a fine tannin structure.
