Why? This wine became an extremely scarce collector item when Robert Parker ordained it “Classic 97 points!”

ROBERT PARKER TASTING NOTES: “Made from 100% Shiraz that spent 24 months in French oak (30% new), the exuberant, flamboyant 2004 The Factor offers up gorgeously pure blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with smoke, bacon fat, camphor, and graphite. Silky smooth, and, as David Powell says, “the most Barossa-like” of all his wines, it represents Powell’s rendition of a Cote Rotie. It can be drunk over the next 15-20 years. 97 points”

PORTHOS INSIDER SCOOP: When Parker says ‘most Barossa-like’ that is his code for saying this is a MASSIVE wine, not intended for the faint-of-heart but guaranteed to thrill decadent red wine lovers!
