The largest scaled in the lineup, with the textbook volatile acidity that I always seem to find in this cuvee, the ’04 Torbreck Run Rig is a behemoth and shows massive aromas of violets, plum, blood, and smoke that give way to a full-bodied, unctuous, and staggeringly textured Syrah. While not for the faint of heart, this has real balance and depth on the palate, and shows brilliant underlying structure, ripe tannin, and a blockbuster finish. I’m a huge fan and this is up there with the ’01 Run Rig in terms of quality. A blend of the top barrels from different vineyards, this is awesome stuff and do not let any Aussie bias cause you to miss this wine!
