Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz 1999
Syrah/Shiraz
from Clare Valley, Australia
winemaker's notes:
Ripe, spicy and distinctive for its jazzy floral, peppery notes that weave through the solid blackberry and anise flavors. It all lingers impressively on the polished, generous finish.
"You could fill your pen with this stuff, it's that dark. Aromas of black
cherry marmalade, cassis and white chocolate,
young and fresh. In the mouth, it's massive and
ripe, yet balanced and harmonious, with perky
acids and caressing tannins."
-Wine Enthusist, December 2002
