This review summarizes a 2010 Torbreck Vintners The Factor Shiraz from the Barossa Valley in Australia. While the wine has intense aromas and flavors, the reviewer detects a stale, overripe scent and taste. The experience of the wine remains a puzzle that is still developing. The wine is rated very good and recommended for drinking until 2025, though it offers no exceptional value for its $125 price tag.
