The "Run Rig" is more like a big rig. It's all dark cassis. Huge tannin structure, heavy expresso roast, bigger spice, noticeable cracked pepper, tarry, leathery, crushed rocks & dry darks florals. Fruits are; blackberries, blueberries and black plum once the long finish takes hold. It will be a few years before you start to see the red fruits come out of hiding. See you again in 10-15 years and will likely go 30 years. Featured in the photos is their main tasting room and that beautiful red Barossa soil on the estate.

An ansolute gem. Super rich and beautiful presence of youthful bright fruit. Can see this being even better in a few years time. Aromas of fresh black cherry, raspberry coulis, tobacco, mocha and pencil shavings.
