TORBRECK The Pict Mataro 2018 Barossa Valley 1 BOTTLE AU$80-90 AUD $ 34

Robert Parker Score: 95 points

Reviewer: Joe Czerwinski — Issue 255 End of June 202130 Jun 2021

Drink 2021–2035

Torbreck's rich, hickory smoke-infused 2018 The Pict Mataro spent two years in new oak. In conjunction with notes of dark plum and black olive, the result is a savory, meaty wine. Medium to full-bodied, intensely concentrated, velvety in texture and long on the licorice-tinged finish, it sets an exciting standard for this underappreciated variety. This rivals the success of the cooler-vintage 2017.
