1999 Torbreck The Steading

[winoweenie]

My first bottle of this kick-patootie bottling.60% Grenache, 20% Mataro, and 20% Shiraz. Don't have the experience with this blend but intend to expand my horizons. Jammy, floral, spicy, earthy juice with a tad of funk. Good entry, medium center and a 3&1/2 lapper finish. Melded with my smoked baby-backs like rum and coke. Lovely bottle. 89/88. 14.5% alc. 44 by the box. WW

Sounds great! Incidentally for those in Palm Beach, Mataro is Mourvedre. It seems to change its name in every new country it goes to. In Spain it is Monstrell.
