and a very mineral-driven finish
but also vibrant citrus fruits and vanilla
rounded and toasty with nice ripe apple and keen citrus fruit
Spicy fruit dominates the mid palate and remain there in the long peppery aftertaste
A classic Cotes-du-Rhone nose of dark plum and liquorice leads to juicy red fruit and a hint of earth in the mouth
Torbreck, The Descendant 2004 Raul Perez and a very mineral-driven finishThe 2004 Descendant is by far the most impressive release of this wine, the colour making that immediately apparent; completely black purple with healthy, vibrant magenta hues. A pure, wild, powerful nose of blackberry and tar is complimented by a gentle floral lift of lavender and violets. Full bodied with great concentration, silky tannins and perfectly judged extract, this vigorous and suave young wine has a long, long future ahead of it.
