"The blockbuster 2003 Shiraz Marcus Old Vine (from a vineyard that merges with one of Torbreck’s renowned Run Rig sites) was aged in 25% new and 75% old French oak. Its black/purple hue is followed by lovely notes of melted tar, blackberries, pepper, tapenade, and earth. Rich, full-bodied, opulent, and long, it is a terrific wine . . ."
