Torbreck The Struie 2019

The best value. The higher, tighter acid line, lifted violets and minerality speak of the Eden Valley component (8%) and the Barossa Valley’s elevated Western Ranges. Palate-staining crushed bilberry, blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry and complex bitter chocolate, mocha, graphite and saline layers. Abundant but fine, sinewy tannins foreclose on the finish. Intense and still coming together, with great potential. Drinking window: 2022-2035. Score – 95. (Sarah Ahmed, decanter.com, Aug. 7, 2021)
