酒名：2012 Torbreck Run Rig 澳洲 巴羅莎托貝克郎麗格紅酒
酒廠：Torbreck Vintners 托貝克酒莊
產區：澳洲巴羅莎谷 (Barossa Valley)
品種：97.5% Shiraz、2.5% Viognier
美國葡萄酒收藏家大衛‧索柯林所著的《葡萄酒投資》一書裡，全澳洲的「投資級葡萄酒」（Investment Grade Wines；簡稱IGW）的38款紅酒裡頭，托貝克酒莊（Torbreck Vintners）的酒釀就佔了四款：分別是The Factor、Descendant、Les Amis以及RunRig。其中，酒價最高的RunRig已列世界名酒之林，也成為現代澳洲經典名釀的代表作。
此外，漫畫《神之雫》也畫及本莊的初階酒款Woodcutter’s Shiraz，更讓托貝克大名耳熟能詳於酒迷之間。有鑑於Woodcutter’s Shiraz極為物超所值，使其成為名符其實的托貝克親善大使。托貝克酒莊雖以紅酒聞名，但其白酒表現也不凡，初階的Woodcutter’s Semillon內含部分比例的75歲老藤，口感圓潤帶有蜜香，尾韻則顯現礦物質風韻，是搭餐廣度極佳的日常良伴。本莊的葡萄園管理接近有機；釀酒時，則盡量採取無為而治，少加干預的原則。
WA: 98+ Drink: 2009-2040
Torbreck’s flagship is the 2005 Run Rig, a 97% Shiraz cuvee sourced from 120- to 160-year-old vines with 3% finished Viognier added before bottling. It spent 30 months in 60% new French oak. Opaque purple/black in color, it has a kinky, exotic bouquet of fresh road tar, smoke, lavender, black pepper, game, blueberry, and black raspberry. Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, the wine is dense, packed, and unevolved. It will continue to open up over the next 10-12 years and drink well through 2040 in the style of a Chapoutier Hermitage. If it develops as I think it will, it will be a candidate for perfection down the road.
