The Armagh Jim Barry 2005
Jim Barry’s flagship is the famous Armagh Shiraz. The 2005 Shiraz “Armagh” was sourced from a vineyard planted in 1964 on its own roots. It spent 18 months in French and American oak and was bottled without fining or filtration. It has an alluring bouquet of cedar, Asian spices, pepper, boysenberry, plum, and blackberry. This leads to a full-bodied yet elegant Shiraz with a velvety texture and impeccable balance. It offers up gobs of ripe fruit flavors, serious depth and concentration, and a very long finish. It will continue evolving with an additional 6-8 years of cellaring and drink well through 2035. Beautiful bouquet with ripe dark forest fruits, chocolate, mint, anise and vanilla. On the palate a beautiful and concentrated wine with a lot of sweet spices, dark berries, beautifully dosed oak, good acidity and mild tannin.
