2007 Torbreck Shiraz The Struie

I liked this more than I thought I would, not my normally preferred style of wine.

Big, ripe but surprisingly balanced (despite the 15% alc). Really quite delicious full of black and blue fruits with lovely texture, good length and even a nice whack of minerality. Nice!

Drinking really well, enjoyed with a juicy steak.

Some complexity on the nose, mint, black currant, iron, with good depth. Strong tannin on the palate but followed up with waves of balanced fruit. Definitely new world, but relatively restrained, lovely mouthfeel and good length

Pretty decent for aussie pinot. Some complexity but the palate was a little too fruit forward for my palate. About half of the table really loved this, I only quite liked it.

Not a great showing, possibly still hasn't settled in from the transport.

A little bit bloody and flat at the moment. Opened out with time and delivered nice complexity. I'll reserve judgement until I open another bottle

Very good, much better than last bottle.

Quite a big wine, although very much in balance. Great complexity with a mix of dark (round) fruits, superb minerality and good balancing acidity. shifted and evolved in the glass.

Lovely!

A little simple... acid and oak. When compare to decent burgundy it didn’t stack up.

A wine that whispers gently and elegantly, and it has a very interesting message to share. White flowers, oatmeal and minerality on the delicate nose. Similar profile on the palate and with a lovely long finish. Perfectly balanced with nothing sticking out. A savoury, mineral wine that isn't sharp, it's round and mouth filling but delicate at the same time. Absolutely stunning. A wine to sit and contemplate and enjoy with simple savoury food.

Dry, clean, some nice richness on the palate with hints of banana and nice aromatical lift. A little short on the palate but very correct. Lots of life left but I'm not sure it will improve

This was a classy bottle of wine. It had a very fine line of minerality, a fair whack of oak (which wasn’t out of balance) and good length on the palate. Really excellent with the perfectly cooked scallops which brought out tropical hints in the wine. Remarkably young for an 8YO Bdx Blanc

Quite soft and round. Decent and enjoyable without being too great. Much better than chilean cabernet or other new world wines at the same price. Some austerity and savouriness although I imagine the vintage has softened out the edges on this wine quite a bit. Good value by the carafe on a local restaurant list.

Lovely wine, started off a little green but after 3 hours in the decanter this opened up wonderfully. Tannins nicely resolved but still with plenty of primary fruit. Great balance between fruit and savouy flavours with nice density and length. No shame to enjoy now and should be good for another 10 years.
