Jim BarryThe Armagh Shiraz 2019
About this product
“Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz, from the picturesque Clare Valley, is one of Australia’s most important red wines. Its history and reputation are deeply connected to the postwar development of South Australia’s modern wine industry. Its Exceptional rating in auction house Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine highlights The Armagh’s ‘Grand Cru’ reputation and track record for cellaring. This reference claret-style is renowned for its powerfully expressive aromas, chocolaty richness and sinuous structure. With some years of bottle age, the elements fold together and develop a superb inky density and vigour. Vineyard provenance, history, family ambition and generosity underpin its authenticity and appeal.”—andrew caillard, mw
“The 2019 The Armagh Shiraz is complex, layered and spiced, with a multitude of hung deli meats and small goods, packed in alongside the purple fruits and exotic spice. The wine is supple, for all the power, and unfurls over a long finish to show the muscle and might of this iconic wine. In a vertical of four vintages (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019), this has the second-highest alcohol of the lot, at 14.1%, showing that concentration and density doesn’t have to come at the expense of finesse. I love this.”—erin larkin, wine advocate / awarded 97 points
