A straightahead, flavorful wine, this 60-40 blend has pleasant grass, hay and white stone fruit flavors, and a viscous mouthfeel. Finishes with more white peach. Unfortunately not exported to U.S.; Stephen Henschke says that it is most prevalent in Australian cafés. 1 Note

Found only at Torbreck’s cellar door and a few Australian restaurants, this is 100% Muscat a Petit Grains. It’s fresh and springy, and tastes like buttercups, lemondrops, and other pretty things. Smells like perfume, and fresh-cut grass. A very good end to a very good evening. 1 Note

With air, shows cassis, meaty aromas. Smooth and medium-full on palate, with chewy tannins on the finish. 1 Note

Bramble, plum and eucalyptus on the nose. Smooth tannins still hanging on; feel is fresh, with flavors of red clay/earth and plum. 1 Note

Still kicking almost 20 years later, with good grip and fine tannins on the palate. Flavors are of black plum and earth; could still go another 5–10 years. 1 Note

Acids are lively, and tannins hold on through the finish. Nose still isn’t revealing its all, but the palate is full of plums and cherries, which wear a pleasing, brambly overlay. 1 Note

More plush on the palate than the 1990, with sweet fruit flavors and a dusty overlay of bread flour. At its peak now. 1 Note
