Jim Barry Armagh Shiraz(2004)
Starting at
$89.36 USD
Shiraz: Robert Parker 98 points "One of the most colossal wines in all of my tastings was Jim Barry's 2004 Shiraz The Armagh, a 100% Shiraz aged 16 months in French and American oak. It is an opaque purple-hued, super-intense effort displaying great precision and richness. Notes of melted asphalt, acacia flowers, blueberries, blackberries, charcoal, and espresso roast emerge from this full, dense, opulent Shiraz. The finish lasts for over 45 seconds. This is a great example of one of the icons of Australian Shiraz."

- WS 92 (9/2007): 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. Drink now through 2014. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 75 cases imported.

- The 2004 Armagh is black-purple in color. It displays a nose of lifted, aromatic, blueberry/blackberry cassis, cedary oak, spice and complex, underlying savory characters.The palate is huge and dense, with fully integrated oak, yet still featuring complex fruits of plum, blackcurrant, blackberry andblack cherry. It shows deep, brooding consistency, with the flavor and texture of chocolate mudcake. This wine is ideal for long term cellaring. It is suggested that the wine is allowed to breathe a minimum of two hours before beingconsumed to fully appreciate the distinctive flavors and aromas.

- IWC 93 (10/2007): Glass-staining violet. A huge and strikingly pungent bouquet of blackcurrant, kirsch, candied licorice, chocolate, vanilla bean, flowers and incense. Deep and sweet, with impressively concentrated cherry and dark berry flavors bordering on liqueur-like but firmed by youthful tannins and brightened by sneaky minerality. Black cherry preserve, candied violet and mocha qualities build on the expansive, long finish, utterly saturating the palate. Surprisingly precise for a wine with such concentration and built to last.
