1991 Three Rivers Shiraz

This wine and the 1989 came from one vineyard in the hills behind Angaston that is now vinified by Rolf Binder, and also from Malcolm Seppelt’s vineyard at Marananga, from which Torbreck now draws fruit . Very complex, layered flavours. Extremely ripe black fruit and some leathery notes too – almost cheesy, it's so savoury. There is tar, licorice and asphalt with a hint of Elastoplast. All surprisingly exciting! (JR)
