Lot 322 Details
TORBRECK RUNRIG 2012 (2)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.
u. 2 x 1 cm.

The 2012 RunRig is gorgeously floral and vibrant, with concentrated red berries, characteristic weight and intensity on the palate and supple, silky tannins. It's delicious now, but it should age gracefully through at least 2035. August 2018 WA 99

TORBRECK RUNRIG 2015 (2)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.
u. 2 x 1 cm.

It's also more approachable in its youth, with enormously appealing aromas of grilled fruit, savory complexities and rich, velvety tannins. Of course, it's full-bodied and concentrated, with the stuffing to age for up to a couple of decades, and it has a long, licorice-tinged finish. Winemaker Ian Hongell, who joined Torbreck from Peter Lehmann, may not have made this wine, but he deserves a lot of credit for the blending and finishing of this tour de force. March 2018 Drink: 2020-2035 WA 98
