TORBRECK SHRZ RUNRIG 03 The estate’s flagship cuvee is the virtually perfect 2003 Run Rig. Made from 8 separate Barossa vineyards <branging in age from 94 to 158 years>b; it is primarily Shiraz with 4-5% co-fermented Viognier included in the blend. The wine was aged in French oak of which 60% is new. The sensational; inky/purple-tinged 2003 exhibits a stunningly sweet nose of blackberries; blueberries; litchi nuts; smoked meats; and a hint of apricots. Elegant yet super-powerful; rich; concentrated; and long; it is a tour de force in winemaking as well as a modern classic example of Barossa Shiraz. It should drink well for 20-25 years. Robert Parkers The Wine Advocate; Oct. 2006. Deep colour and hue>c highly fragrant; spiced blackberry aromas>c the intensity of flavour hits the mouth like a gale; the inbuilt tannins neither hard nor dry. Controlled oak. The 04 should be celestial. 14.5º alc. Rating 96 Drink 2023 Date Tasted Feb 06. James Hallidays Australian Wine Companion. By Josh RaynoldsbRStephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar; Jul/Aug 06 bR<b$220>c includes 5% viognier>b Inky violet. Explosively aromatic nose offers the full range of red and black fruits; along with notes of candied violet; cinnamon; mace; star anise and exotic tobacco. Hugely concentrated and velvety but also remarkably precise and energetic; with very pure flavors of blackberry; boysenberry; plum preserve and kirsch Ripe; explosive and deep on the back>c as rich and sweet as this is; its not at all thick or cloying. A real balancing act of power and purity. The tannins are completely buffered by the wines sheer concentration of fruit. Id give this at least five years of cellaring to gain in complexity. As impressive to my palate as the superb 2002 version. 94 points.
