TORBRECK The Pict Mataro 2006 | Barossa Valley | 1 BOTTLE | AU$80-90 | AUD $ 50 |
Robert Parker Score: 92 points
Reviewer: Jay S Miller — 18125 Feb 2009
Drink 2013–2026
The 2006 The Pict is 100% Mataro (Mourvedre) aged in 100% new French oak for 24 months. The fruit was sourced from one section of a vineyard planted in 1927. Purple-colored, it offers up an aromatic array of smoky oak, forest floor, black truffle, blueberry, and blackberry jam. On the palate it reveals a brawny, masculine personality with some austerity that should round out with a few years of additional bottle age. It should offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2026.
Torbreck, under the leadership of owner/winemaker David Powell, remains a Barossa Valley benchmark as well as one of the world’s leading wine estates. The only cloud on the horizon concerns the winery’s ramped up production during a period of economic hard times.
There are three white wines in the Torbreck portfolio.
