JIM BARRY McRAE WOOD SHIRAZ 2020

The fruit for this comes from the famed Armagh vineyard. This is a big, strong Shiraz – almost 'old school'.  Dark fruit is melding into the oak with flavours showing some more mellow spice cupboard, earthy savouriness. A special wine and superb value. 

Winery notes (2015 Vintage)
"This wine displays lovely red and purple tones in the glass. It shows lifted notes of red and black berry fruits on the nose, a touch of graphite earthiness, savoury spice and creamy nougat oak in support. Red and purple fruits carry onto the palate supported by a rich, earthy undertone and fine silky tannins giving the wine terrific structure, great length and persistent flavour. Made using the ‘Jim Barry’ method and as such can be enjoyed upon release, but would equally benefit from cellaring to allow the wine to show some mature characteristics that come with age."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2019 (2015 Vintage)
"An enticing bouquet of dark red fruits and oak spices. Bold flavours on the palate with black currant and dark plum, blackberry and some blue fruit flavours. Tobacco and clove and vanilla. Dry, medium+ weight, bold wood and fruit tannins with contrasting back bone of acidity. Well made, medium+ length. Drink now and through 2025."
