(Torbreck RunRig) Group's #1 (my #3) – 46 pts; 5 firsts, 5 seconds, 3 thirds, 2 last places – very dark red violet color; narrower berry, blackberry, dried berry nose; tight yet, berry, oak, ripe black fruit palate, a little hot; medium finish 88+ pts. (this bottle showed nowhere near as well as when I've tried this wine multiple times in the past, and even the finish was much attenuated; I suspect a problem with the bottle)

A classic. One of the best. Smooth, light tannins, lots of fruit. Drink to enjoy

Remains an opaque, glass-staining, deep purple pool. Pitched floral fragrance complemented by raspberries, granite, and eucalyptus. Plum and acai berry flavors, sweet package but unfortunately finishes on a sharp, acidic, alcoholic note.

Absolute perfection. Wow. Eucalyptus on the nose, perfectly integrated on the palate. Amazing. RunRig delivers again!

Amazing wine, herbal, rich, blue and blackberry with very nice purity, still with concentration, a bit mellowed out but still has good lift, balanced, long, poised. Not super complex but really great structure. WOTN First place at the dinner. My '04 was corked to high heaven. Taylor's Steak House Dirty Dozen dinner.
