{"product_id":"torbreck-the-factor-shiraz-2018","title":"Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Factor is predominantly from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions of the Barossa, providing dense texture and richness to the palate with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather and minerals. Ripe aromas of plum and wild blackberries, olive, pepper and spice are all supported by a dark core of espresso roast, ripe blackberries and saltbush. Brooding and densely packed, this lavish wine has ample generosity to cellar for many years, where it will slowly unravel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA blend of parcels that sees a 24-month elevage in barriques and has Western Barossa black fruit, as well as a strong, savory, tarry thread, spiced earth and orange peel. Very velvety tannins, packed with rich dark fruit that drive so so long. The cooler vintage has dialed this in nicely. So much concentrated flavor. Seamless texture. Excellent length.

Scents of cedar shavings and vanilla mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate folds in notes of ripe blackberries and mulberries, plus hints of baking spices. Complex, firm and age-worthy, with a long, focused finish, it should be at its best after about five more years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Advocate 96 Points\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torbreck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949102395439,"sku":"228504","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/torbeckfactbtl_d10de47d-24d8-4460-be82-5504fd6c083c.jpg?v=1771489052","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/torbreck-the-factor-shiraz-2018","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
