The proportion of Eden Valley inclusion is usually around 25%, but in 2019, it was down to 10% due to the very low yields. So, this 2021 Struie is blue-fruited on the nose, with blueberry, licorice, black tea, crushed rocks, summer raspberry, layers of campfire embers and clove. It might be that in many of the tasting notes from 2021, that the wines outperform previous vintages. This is because the cool season was long, so great ripeness was achieved, without the stress or impact of heat events and disease. It's a lovely, lovely year that has made wines with freshness and intensity. The tannins through the finish here are savory and fine and black. Drink 2023-2043.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eErin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy mind went into orbit when I tasted this wine. Tasting like a magical concoction of 4-parts Serralunga d’Alba and 1-part Bonnes-Mares (Morey-side), this wine’s 43% Eden Valley Shiraz component makes it the most energetic, challenging, and utterly mesmerising vintage I can remember. I have always been a Struie fan, but it often sits down in the pack alongside some of the more powerful Shirazs', so one has to look deep into the portfolio to truly appreciate its charms. In 2021, while it is not a bigger wine, it is undoubtedly more intense and aeons longer on the finish, so I can see it standing shoulder to shoulder with its more fêted siblings for years to come. Drink 2024 – 2035.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19+\/20 - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMatthew Jukes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JC2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41855458902079,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/IMG_1174.png?v=1751781959","url":"https:\/\/www.cellarlinkauctions.com\/products\/2021-torbreck-the-struie-shiraz-750ml-3-bottle-pack","provider":"Cellar Link Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
