Description

The top wine from Torbreck, the rarity of this particular bottle is not to be underestimated. There were very, very few of these made. not surprising since a certain Robert Parker junior gave it 99 points and had this to say...

"The estate’s flagship cuvee is the virtually perfect 2003 Run Rig. Made from 8 separate Barossa vineyards (ranging in age from 94 to 158 years), 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.
Drink: 2006 - 2031 | Date Tasted: Oct 06"

This is in perfect condition since it has been stored at LCB since shipment from the winery.
