Torbrecks flagship is the 2005 Run Rig

The wine seems fully mature

the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use)

smoked tea and a hint of animale that is also reflected by the focused and beautifully intense medium-bodied flavors that possess an unusually refined mouth feel

Penfolds, Grange Vintage:2006 Torbrecks flagship is the 2005Gago opened two bottles of this wine, both of which showed signs of past seepage, hence my question mark after the rating. I suspect pristine bottles will show better than these did. A bit mossy and sullen, the 2004 Grange is going through a cranky adolescence. Mocha, cedar and dark fruit on the nose are echoed on the palate of this full bodied, concentrated wine. It's dark and rich, just needs another 5 6 years to emerge on the other side.
