Note di degustazione
The 2010 RunRig is superb and gracious. Powerful but finely wrought tannins support supremely elegant fruit. There are notes of sumac and cocoa, mulberry, pressed flowers and clove. This is fresh, harmonious and seamless, in line with the characters of 2004, 2002, 1998 and 1996. It's a massive wine, but it's balanced; and the alcohol is surprisingly not a thing—despite being very much of a thing analytically. 16% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

(97% shiraz with 3% viognier): Opaque purple. A wild, highly perfumed bouquet displays scents of dark berry liqueur, incense, violet candy, fruitcake and licorice. Densely packed, palate-staining blueberry and cassis flavors are complemented by exotic star anise and cola qualities and lifted and focused by juicy acidity. Shows serious intensity and power on the remarkably persistent finish, which features velvety tannins, echoing dark fruit character and lingering florality. As usual, this was one of the stars of my annual Australia tastings.
Deep garnet-black with a hint of purple to the color, the 2010 RunRig taunts at first with a slightly closed nose before it engages with subtle kirsch, preserved plum, dried mulberry and Christmas cake notes intermingled with hints of violets, cinnamon stick, mocha and game. Full-bodied, rich and incredibly concentrated, the palate astonishes with incredible poise for such a big style as it perfectly balances the wine’s generous fruit flavors with firm, velvety tannins and seamlessly vibrant, lively acid. It finishes with incredible persistence. Delicious now, it should drink best 2016 to 2028+. Feb 2014, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2016-2028
