Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 3, 2022 - 10x 100 Pts with the Wine Advocate Team: That‘s a tough one. On one hand, this is so well structured, ultra fine and with a quite feather like texture, highly complex and precise. On the other hand it is just completely overripe and a bit too much, too intense. I didn‘t finish the glass. 90 pts for all the technical excellence outside the ripeness level. If you love that ripeness, then it maybe can be a 95 pts wine, which what Czerwinski certainly had in mind. But Australian Shiraz doesn‘t have to be overripe, so not a convincing call by him.

TN: Very intense, expressive nose with very ripe dark berries, mixed with coffee notes, licorice, and some hints of herbs. This is a far too ripe for my taste. On the palate there is a lot herbs, licorice, christmas spices, gingerbread, hints of coffee. The complexity and precision are off the charts. The structure is superb with so much finesse, lightness, super fine tannins and high, round acidity. Long and very balanced. Just far, far too ripe for my taste. Much riper than other RunRig vintages or other high-end Aussie Shiraz.

Decanting: This was sitting in the glass for some time. Open and singing right from the start. I don‘t think it needs a long decant.
