Torbreck The Struie Shiraz 2023 Blanc de Blancs Allen MeadowsShiraz from 76 24% Barossa Valley Eden Valley. Deep magenta crimson with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blood plum underscored with hints of clove, bay leaf, licorice, dried meats, sage, mace, dark chocolate, graphite and violets. Oak, while there, is never a dominant feature in Torbreck wines; it's always about the fruit and the fruit here is black, spicy and has a long pull, with powdered, granitic tannins and plenty of latent power.
