Shiraz big guns and Co, featuring Standish Lamella 2017 (Budapest, Hungary): Nothing candy-like here, but it’s New World for sure. Warm climate ripeness, it’s dark and a bit raisiny. Big, broad on the palate, with soft acidity and a creamy texture, but it’s not sweet or cloying at all, and has a real backbone of firm, chewy tannins. A generous, bit rustic, but very good wine. 89 points

Big and ripe with good fruit intensity. Red and fleshy with tasty oak and a touch of sweetness; smoked meat. Enough tannins, but they are pretty relaxed. Some brambly blackberry that is not in my sweet spot, but nothing wrong with it as a fruit profile.

Good solid wine is made in the classic old-world style.
