Torbreck Shiraz The Struie - 2008 (750ml) Rhone with a dense purple colorDeep garnet purple colored, the 2008 The Struie offers notes of stewed plums and creme de cassis with hints of raisins, loam and chocolate box. Very big, concentrated and full in the mouth, it has a medium to firm level of chewy tannins, lively acid and a long spicy finish. Drink it now to 2018+. Wine Advocate 90 points
