Torbreck, Run Rig, Shiraz--Vintage 1997
Barossa Valley
"I have been blown away by prior efforts, and this huge, exotic wine, which offers up blueberry liqueur, cassis, flowers, a touch of overripe peaches, and sweet vanillin, is a rich, full-bodied, suppletextured wine. It represents Australia's answer to Marcel Guigal's Côte Rôtie La Mouline. I had a bottle of this sent to my French lawyer for a tasting with several top Médoc proprietors. After the tasting, I received a fax asking how many cases they could purchase! Two or three bottles a year is most people's allocation...The oak is beautifully integrated. The wine is low in acidity, and the impact on the palate is one of awesome levels of fruit, richness, and complexity. This amazing wine may even merit a perfect rating." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 127, 2/28/00
