Torbreck, The Gask Vintage:2008 dried fruits with a strong

dried fruits with a strong animal and damp-hay note

all wrapped in an acceptably lingering finish

given how impressive so many other wines in the range are

with espresso and humus notes along the edges of the dark currant and blackberry fruit core

Torbreck, The Gask Vintage:2008 dried fruits with a strongThe Gask is a relatively new wine made since 2005 from 100% Shiraz sourced from a single vineyard in the Eden Valley planted in 1960. The 2008 The Gask gives a very deep garnet purple color and intense warm berry, kirsch, creme de cassis and wilted roses aromas plus a whiff of prunes. Very full bodied with plenty of ripe, rich fruit it has a nice backbone of crisp acid and medium level fine grained tannins supporting it through the long finish.
