Torbreck, Factor Vintage:2018 As is usually the case

As is usually the case this is notably more elegant than the straight Chablis with its nose of pretty citrus

On this day

This is more restrained still though aggressive swirling eventually coaxes the gorgeously broad-ranging and pure nose to reveal a more floral and spicier mélange of red and dark currant

This feels very lively and energetic

Torbreck, Factor Vintage:2018 As is usually the caseInky ruby. Heady scents of dark berry liqueur, singed plum and incense, with notes of vanilla and smoky minerals building in the glass. Shows excellent clarity and lift to the palate staining blueberry, cola and candied lavender flavors, with juicy acidity giving the wine spine. Deftly marries richness and vivacity and finishes sweet, broad and extremely long, with solid punch and fine grained tannins. Josh Raynolds
