Torbreck The Laird 2013

Intoxicating aromas of intense rich dark fruits fill the bouquet, with dark chocolate, spices and meat providing a savoury edge. The palate possesses a rich liqueur like concentration, with flavours of liquorice, ripe blackberries, dark plums and black cherries, evolving into a dark chocolate and mocha finish with a touch of smoked meatiness and spice.

Held together with a tight tannin profile and generous oak, the 2013 shows all the opulence and elegance of previous Laird’s, but with a complexity, precision and prominence that will make sure it ages gracefully for the next 20 years or more.
