RunRig 2016
Descripción
Los clanes de las tierras altas escocesas utilizaban un sistema llamado RunRig para distribuirse el terreno en una serie de propiedades dispersas, poniendo el valor en la asociación comunal y no las granjas independientes; Shiraz y Viognier se complementan en este vino, ambas variedades entrelazan la fuerza y complejidad de estas parcelas consiguiendo una complejidad extraordinaria. 100 puntos Parker lo avalan como uno de los mejores vinos austtralianos de todos los tiempos.

Opinión de los críticos
A blend of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier made just prior to bottling, the 2016 RunRig is a complete masterpiece. It kicks off with elegant notes of pencil shavings accenting blueberries and blackberries on the nose, then shows incredible, palate-staining intensity of fruit in the mouth. It's full-bodied, plush and velvety without being unstructured and manages to be fruit-forward yet savory on the long-lasting finish, where it picks up hints of mocha and black olives. This should be drinkable with pleasure throughout its entire two-decade life (it may live longer from cold cellars or in larger formats), but if I were lucky enough to have a bottle or two, I'd try the first one about 10 years out. Scheduled for June 2019 release. - Joe Czerwinski.
Old-vine magic. Some even come from 1858. The decadence and dusty, antique aromas and flavors are very impressive, yet it’s not overdone. Licorice, dark berries, smoke and graphite. A blend of 98% shiraz and 2% viognier. Better in 2021.
