The youngest Run Rig the 2001 should equal the 1998 as it is almost a clone aromatically texturally and flavor-wise just much younger. This opaque purple-colored beauty should flirt with perfection over the next 10-15 years. Torbreck?s flagship wine the Run Rig is made from 40- to 120-year-old Shiraz vines with some co-fermented Viognier (usually around 3%) tips the scales between 14-15% alcohol and is aged 30 months in French oak. In contrast to the way they taste upon release neither the 1998 or 1997 Run Rig revealed any oak. Published: Jun 29 2009
