Torbreck Descendant 2001 (2 bts) The Factor 2002 (1 bt) Run Rig 2001 (1 bt) Barossa Valley "The youngest Run Rig, the 2001, should equal the 1998 as it is almost a clone aromatically, texturally, and flavor-wise, just much younger. This opaque purple-colored beauty should flirt with perfection over the next 10-15 years. Torbreck's flagship wine, the Run Rig, is made from 40- to 120-year-old Shiraz vines with some co-fermented Viognier (usually around 3%), tips the scales between 14-15% alcohol, and is aged 30 months in French oak. In contrast to the way they taste upon release, neither the 1998 or 1997 Run Rig revealed any oak." R. Parker, 99 pts. 06/09 Descendant - R, Parker, 98 pts. 08/03 The Factor - R.
