crushed flowers and graphite give the 2016 an element of exoticism that is impossible to miss

fresh fruit

Jim Barry, Armagh Shiraz Vintage:2010 but not for the ChardonnayI thought that the 2014 had completely stolen my heart, but then there was this 2018 The Armagh Shiraz, bottled under Stelvin. This saw no American oak, as 2017 was the first year of 100% French. This is the first year with puncheons (no hogsheads) as well. It is so good, sensational, with a perfect fruit profile and orange oil character. It is fresh, beguiling, supple, intense, elegant, refined and fullall the good and important things in confluence
