Torbreck The Laird 2006

27000 ml Syrah South Australia, Australia 2006

Torbreck The Laird 2006 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Syrah (Australia, Australia), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity moderate; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 20-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, beef stew, steak, venison.
