2004 Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz

Very deep crimson colour with crimson hue. The nose displays impressive varietal lift. Top notes of ripe plum and vanilla, followed by blackberry. The palate reveals notes of stewed plum, liquorice and spices, with the back palate being quite spicy. Fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of plums and stewed fruit.
Cellar 1-2 years (2007-2008)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%

Other Reviews…
The 2004 Woodcutters Shiraz is a 20,000-case cuvee aged completely in old wood. Pure blackberry liqueur intermixed with hints of charcoal, tar, and pepper jump from the glass of this soft, velvety-textured, opulent, fruit-filled Shiraz. Amazingly complex for its price, this lusty, appealing, hedonist’s dream is worth buying by the case. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
