Had 2 glasses of this at SAVVA, above Prince's Buildling. I have always loved Torbreck wines and The Steading, Juveniles, The Factor, The Steading and Runrig very much. This was the first time I had The Struie and was really pleasently surprised! Great, smooth shiraz with licorice, vanilla, spices and great blackberries that are not over-the-top but with sophistication and depth. You can feel the old vine shiraz but the 100% shiraz is better than the grenache blends that I have tried with Torbreck, although I enjoy those tremendously as well. It did not remind me of the hermitage right away, but this has long long finish and finesse.
