Description

6 one bottle lots of Torbreck's iconic 'RunRig' Shiraz from the 2002 vintage. If the winning bidder purchases all 6 bottles the case can be provided.

2002 Saturated, inky, opaque ruby. A ripe, roasted, porty black hole of a nose. Impossibly ripe, musky, dense aromas of dark cherry, cassis compote, blackberry confit, molasses, fruitcake, violet pastille, licorice and candied rose petal. Thick to the point of being a solid, or at least a colloid, with dense, inky, even resinous flavors of bitter chocolate, creme de mure, coffee liqueur, licorice and black cardamom, accompanied by a spice rack of accents. The finish seems to never let go, which in this case is a good thing. Sticky, palate-staining and amazingly dense, a monument to this style of syrah. [Stephen Tanzer]

2002 Medium-bodied; fragrant, elegant style with lifted aromatics and a finely drawn, structured and balanced divalate; smoky blackberry fruit with just a hint of adivricot; fine, long tannins. High quality cork.
Drink: 2015 | Date Tasted: Mar 05 [95pts, James Halliday]


Wine Advocate # 161
Oct 2005 Robert Parker 99 Drink: 2007 - 2020
The 2002 Run Rig (97% Shiraz and 3% Viognier aged in 100% new French oak) represents the essence of old vine Barossa fruit. Extraordinarily opulent and rich, but playing it closer to the vest than the 2001, it gets my nod as one of the most remarkable wines made in either the Southern or Northern Hemisphere. An inky/purple color is accompanied by a sumptuous bouquet of apricots, honeysuckle, black raspberries, blackberries, licorice, and a hint of roasted meats. The wood has been soaked up by the wine’s extraordinary concentration. Fashioned from four sectors of Barossa (Maranaga, Koonunga Hill, Moppa, and Greenock), it spent 30 months in primarily new oak, and was bottled without fining or filtration. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020+.
