A very showy vintage of RunRig that opens with plenty of sweet fruit and sweetly spiced oak, everything is turned up, redolent with violets and peppery notes, tar and toffee, chocolate, toasted almonds, vanilla, nougat, blackberry, panforte, plum liqueur and more, it brightens and focuses with air, really impressive. The texture is super layered and beautifully integrated, totally seamless, it builds a long smooth sleeve-like core of dark cherry, blackberry and plum, really pure and deceptively powerful. Impressive now, best from 2020.- NICK STOCK
