Note di degustazione
The 2012 RunRig is silky and seamless, akin the 2010 tasted alongside. RunRig was not made in the 2011 vintage, due to the cold and wet conditions (which did suit some varieties, and some terrific wines were made). Aromatically, the wine is all about garden roses and tapenade, roasted meat and sweet summer tomatoes. This is a beautiful wine. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

More lift on the nose than the Descendant. Rich – very rich, very sweet – with a hint of sherbet. Perhaps not for sustained drinking, but with masses of impact. Not my personal style of wine but it's well made. Slightly cocoa-esque. And it finishes a bit suddenly. (JR)
Bright purple. Smoke- and spice-accented black and blue fruits, vanilla, incense and potpourri on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush, seamless and broad, offering palate-staining blueberry, boysenberry and fruitcake flavors and a repeating vanilla quality. Decidedly rich but graceful as well, showing surprising litheness and cut thanks to juicy acidity. Displays superb energy and clarity on the strikingly persistent, fruit-driven finish, which is framed and firmed by dusty, slow-building tannins. With a bit more time in bottle to stretch out, this extremely young wine may yet match the superb 2010 in quality.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Run Rig offers a nose of baked cherries and raspberry preserves with suggestions of violets, cinnamon toast, aniseed and vanilla. Full-bodied with characteristic elegance and poise in spite almost of its power, it has a solid backbone of very finely grained tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing with great length. eRobertParker.com.June, 2015
