Nose: High intensity. Dark fruits, cocoa nibs, touch of eucalypt and subtle oak. Palate: Seamless. All at 15.5%ABV, handles it well. Dark fruits, spice, gentle tannins. Medium body and acid. Long finish.
Drinking beautifully but still a bit left in the tank.

Bordering on being an outstanding wine but missed it by a small margin. A full body wine, savoury, full mouthfeel and a terrific finish. On tasting, you will get dark fruit flavours with a hint of spice and perhaps smokiness. What stopped it from being an outstanding wine was perhaps a lack of depth of flavours and a lack of minerality. A terrific drop however, highly recommended.

Very big, rich, deep—a great example of Jim Barry Shiraz. So good it’s hard to imagine that the Armagh could be much bigger, though it probably is. My regret is that I didn’t buy more of this vintage.

Fantastic bottle of wine. Was wonderful on opening and got better through the evening once it opened up.
