Auction purchase. This was either way over the hill or had some heat damage/improper storage at some point in it's life. Cloyingly sweet and gloppy, with cooked fruit flavors. Color looked great, but the aroma and flavor was quite off-putting. Dumped the bottle. NR.

woah, dark inky in glass. black and blue and purple fruits, in a raspberry ripple with coconut flakes. Printers ink, savoury, dark spices. Savoury leather, dark pepper, woodsy oak, sweet spice. Wet earth, soft undergrowth. Long finish, minty eucalypt. Juicy. Well developed and drinking beautiful. Resolve and fine.

Drank this one after 2006 Torbreck runrig, quite similar with the benchmark runrig which got 97 on WA. The difference is runrig has more clear structure with tobacco notes. With only 35% of runrig’s price , this one definitely over its price

Awesome aromatics. Beautiful silky complex mouth. Smooth balanced finish. Probably time to drink and super yum!
