Torbreck Les Amis 13

Sourced from the devigorated soils of western Seppeltsfield, Les Amis is a testament to what only the most fastidious farming can achieve purity, intensity and finesse. Possessing a dense, saturated ruby/purple hue the Les Amis flaunts the concentration, poise and panache of which only the greatest terroirs are gifted. Delicate scents of Chinese five spice, smoke, white flowers and roasted herbs precede a dense, brooding core of black cherry, coal and scorched earth. The well delineated palate offers tremendous texture and combines glorious fruit purity with subtle notes of toasted brioche, fresh cream and balsamic. Multi-dimensional and incredibly intricate, the wine finishes with crisp acids and a cloak of beautifully ripe, polished tannins. Revealing a savory elegance in its youth, the Les Amis will continue to build in complexity for many years to come.

N/ A pts The Wine Advocate – 2015 vintage

“Pale to medium garnet-purple, the 2015 Les Amis has a disarmingly gorgeous nose of red cherry tart, dried rose petals, cinnamon stick and white pepper with hints of hoisin and forest floor. Full-bodied, soft, curvaceous and generously endowed in the mouth, this buxom beauty is a hedonist’s dream, finishing with a spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more.”

97pts The Wine Advocate – 2013 vintage

“Medium garnet colored, the 2013 Les Amis Grenache reveals a gorgeous nose of raspberry preserves, cranberry sauce and kirsch with underlying lavender, fenugreek, cinnamon stick, roses and white pepper hints. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and heady in the mouth, the fruit is cushioned by velvety tannins and lifted with just enough acidity, finishing with impressive length.”
