Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz 2002

Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe dense colour signals another big Armagh It may not be as firm as previous editions but rich, lush, weighty and intense are all fine descriptors. The black pepper and blueberry aromas continue on the palate with a touch of cola and smoky leather. The consummate blockbuster that actually has the stuffing to back it up. You can drink it now or hold it for a decade. Very fine.Tasted: 01 August 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
