Torbreck 2003 The Struie PlonkOz04

This wine was bottled a month ago and in reality, too young to judge properly but it is a good wine; the only question is how good and time will tell. Ripe, pure fruit jumps out of the glass there is nothing the linear about this one, it's very fragrant and floral. Blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate, coffee and mint finish with a little bitter character that that should dissipate with time. Pure, deep, strong fruit and powdery tannins produce a muscular, firm, solid and incredibly tight wine that has a well-developed diverse complexity. Rated as Highly Recommended with ** for value, the rating will probably increase as it reaches maturity about 2010 and beyond.
