Torbreck Old Vines 2008 Re-tasted

So I was at the liquor store the other day and happened to see the Torbreck Barossa Valley wine on sale. It was on special for $18 instead of the normal $25. I have written about this wine before, but I thought that it deserved another post because of how good it was. Upon opening, the red had an excellent balance of fruit, light on the spice, and light oak to it. My wife and I enjoyed it with some rosemary crackers and cheese while dinner was cooking. It has a smoothe texture and nice tannins to compliment it. I dont think I mentioned this in my previous post about the wine but I was also quite pleased with how it tasted the next day. The following evening I noticed that the fruit had died down a bit and the spice and oak seemed more powerful. There was a little bit of oxidized taste to it but this red is lucky because the oxidization managed to complimentthe taste instead of overpower it. That is quite a rare trait in a wine of this price. I cant say it enough, this wine is awesome!! Go pick some up from the liquor store before the sale ends, it is an excellent wine with a very reasonabale price point.
