Jim Barry Armagh Shiraz 2013

"This is better than the 2012, I think, because Armagh should be a pow pow powerful wine, though the lighter touch on the accelerator pedal is also much appreciated too. Power with grace. That’s what you want, I think. If only our modern politicians could achieve the same.

Rich and black fruited, dried mint, creamy coffee nougat oak, spice and a dusting of pepper. Full bodied, but only just, with red and black berries, dried mint and sage, toasty oak, firm grainy tannin and well-settled fresh acidity. Finish is toasty and lively, with serious length of flavour. More to come." - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
