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

Recentemente inaugurata, a metà degli anni Novanta, Torbreck Vintners ha raggiunto la vetta delle cantine Barossa in pochi anni. Dalla fine del secolo, Torbreck è diventata una delle tenute più rispettate d'Australia. David Powell, fondatore e mente dietro Torbreck, ha iniziato questa avventura acquistando piccoli lotti di vigneti piuttosto vecchi, non irrigati e dalle rese basse. Ha riunito gli appezzamenti ed è riuscito a trasformare le viti in coltivazioni di alto livello. Il vino risultante è piacevolmente aromatico, strutturato e ben equilibrato. Oggi Torbreck è di proprietà di Pete Kight e produce ventiquattro vini, dei quali il Runrig è il vino più importante. Il Runrig fu prodotto per la prima volta nel 1995 e consiste in un assemblaggio a base di Syrah rafforzato dal Viognier. Grazie alla sua classe, profondità e struttura, questo vino può sicuramente competere con i migliori Côte-Rôtie. Dal Runrig deriva il Descendant, prodotto anch’esso dai vigneti del Runrig; è un vino un po' più aperto ma comunque paragonabile per intensità. Il Factor, realizzato nel 1998, è un Syrah in purezza con grande potenziale di invecchiamento.
