Jim Barry - Shiraz Clare Valley The Armagh 2004 (750ml)
Jim Barry Description
The 2004 Armagh is black-purple in colour. It displays a nose of lifted, aromatic, bluberry/blackberry cassis, cedary oak, spice and complex, underlying savoury characters.
The palate is huge and dense, with fully integrated oak, yet still featuring complex fruits of plum, black currant, blackberry and black cherry. It shows deep, brooding consisitency, with the fl avour and texture of chocolate mudcake.
This wine is ideal for long term cellaring. We suggest that the wine is allowed to ‘breathe’ for a minimum of two hours before being consumed to fully appreciate the distinctive fl avours and aromas.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Bright and jazzy, with a red pepper edge to the cherry, green olive and spice flavors. The harmonious flavors linger against very fine tannins and lively acidity on the long finish.
