The... how to describe this... it's like a kaleidoscopic vortex of midnight flavor (dark, dense, brooding and spicy), swirling tannins and endlessly plush length. The Viognier in this 2019 RunRig has been absorbed somehow, compressed by the warm, low-yielding vintage that birthed it. It has been pushed down into the reaches of the Shiraz, which is a very good thing, as its propensity for slinky-like bounce and spiral needs some limiting. This is insanely complex yet also balanced. Charry oak frames the wines from all sides, but like the gravity pull on the earth from the sun, the oak is drawn inexorably inward. Pretty impressive, but this wine always is. A beast unto itself, wines like this have few peers.

Blackberry, blueberry and some spice aromas here. Sandalwood and cedar. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate and show superb depth of concentration. Yet it’s agile and light-footed. Goes on for minutes. Tight still with illustrious depth and power. 30 months in French oak barrels. 50% new.

Stunning, showing a polished and expressive mix of rich dark chocolate, sticky toffee pudding and cigar box nuances to a core of spiced plum, kirsch and apricot. The spice and cedar details gain momentum on the long, velvety and expressive finish, where a thread of rosemary oil lingers. Shiraz and Viognier. Drink now through 2035.

Torbreck Vintners

Malgré son jeune âge – la compagnie a été créée au milieu des années 1990 – Torbreck Vintners s’est hissé sur le podium des meilleurs producteurs de la Barossa en l’espace de quelques années. A la fin du dernier siècle, Torbreck était déjà devenu l’un des domaines les plus respectés d’Australie. David Powell, le génie à l’origine de la société, s’est lancé dans l’aventure en acquérant de petites parcelles de vignes plutôt âgées, non irriguées et peu productives. Après avoir réuni toutes ces parcelles, il a créé un vignoble de haut niveau qualitatif, avec à la clé un vin structuré et équilibré aux arômes agréables. De nos jours, Torbreck appartient à Pete Kight et propose une gamme de 24 cuvées, incluant Runrig qui se classe en haut de la pyramide. Cet assemblage majoritairement à base de syrah avec un soupçon de viognier, dont le premier millésime remonte à 1995, peut même rivaliser avec les meilleurs Côte-Rôtie, tant pour sa classe que pour sa profondeur et sa structure. Descendante de Runrig, au sens propre du terme, la cuvée éponyme provient d’une vigne dont les plants ont été bouturés à partir de ceux de Runrig. Le vin qui en découle est légèrement plus épanoui, mais avec une intensité comparable. Factor, en revanche, lancé en 1998, est un 100% syrah doté d’un potentiel de vieillissement considérable.
