Torbreck, The Gask Brut Zero The 2004 Barolo Riserva Voghera

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Voghera Brea has blossomed into a far more beautiful wine than I could have ever imagined when it was first released

it is a profound Larigi

the 2018 Barolo Arione still has another year in botte and time in bottle before its commercial release

The supple and caressing flavors are no denser

On the plus side there is both good freshness and verve to the delicious and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that offer fine persistence on the clean and dry if only moderately complex finish

Torbreck, The Gask Brut Zero The 2004 Barolo Riserva VogheraThe 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.
