"Deeply flavoured and silky, with gamey, reductive and charcuterie-like flavours of cassis, blackberries and dark plums backed by herbal suggestions of slightly greenish fruit plus some somewhat overcooked and meaty nuances. Its floral perfume of peppercorns, dark fruits and musky spices has an ethereal Rhone-like quality. Its sumptuous core of fruit, molasses and crème caramel-like oak finishes long and savoury with velvet tannins."

"The 2004 The Struie is 100% Shiraz from 40-60-year old and 120-year old vineyards. Half of the fruit is from the Eden Valley and half from the Barossa, and the wine spends 18 months in French oak (20% new). An exotic bouquet of blackberries and other sweet fruits is followed by a full-bodied, powerful, rich red with great purity as well as focus, a laser-like precision, huge intensity, and a blockbuster finish that lasts nearly a minute. It will be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age, and should last for two decades."
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #167 (Oct 2006).
Wine Spectator 94 points!"A rich Shiraz, with pinpoint focus and impressive depth. Compelling purity of plum and cherry fruit, with a rogue hint of apricot, and the suggestion of coffee and caramel, as the finish persists. Seductive now for its gorgeous flavor, it should improve with cellaring. Best after 2008."
