Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz 2016 375ml

Deep crimson. Roasted coffee, espresso, blackberry aromas with chinotto-sage notes. Inky deep palate with abundant blackberry, plum fruits, fine loose-knit graphite / al dente tannins, superb mid-palate density and integrated mocha vanilla oak notes. A firm vigorous finish with ferruginous notes. An amazingly powerful yet graceful and sinuous wine with excellent cellaring potential. 16 months in French and American oak, 65% new. Screwcap 14.4% alc Drink 2028-2048 - Winery Notes

"Wow. This is a bold, brassy shiraz that carries a wealth of very intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, licorice and sweetly spiced earth. Still so very youthful and primary. The palate is so powerful, so mouth-filling and so, so juicy. This manages to deliver such intensity and composure. Supple, long and deep-set tannins and heroically expressive fruit. Really impressive now, but this will deliver much more over the next two decades. One of the finest releases to date. 99 Points" - Nick Stock, 23 June 2020
