The deep saturated ruby/purple-colored 2000 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard offers a beautiful perfume of violets
It displays lots of Christmas fruitcake
and lime zest are the first indications of greatness waiting in the glass before you
turning elegant and polished
it‰۪s taken on the perfume of a fat porcini
2004 Torbreck "Factor" Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia The deep saturated ruby/purple-colored 200097 points Robert Parker "Made from 100% Shiraz that spent 24 months in French oak (30% new), the exuberant, flamboyant 2004 The Factor offers up gorgeously pure blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with smoke, bacon fat, camphor, and graphite. Silky smooth, and, as David Powell says, the most Barossa like of all his wines, it represents Powells rendition of a Cote Rotie. It can be drunk over the next 15 20 years."
