The Armagh Shiraz 2019

Lobenberg: Gibt es Perfektion? Mit dem Armagh gelingt Jim Barry das absolute Meisterstück! Tiefes violett im Glas. Dann an der Nase ein Kraftpaket das gleichzeitig so viel Finesse und Eleganz aufweist. Wahnsinn! Ein Boxer im Ballerina Tütü. Schwarze Kirsche, Zwetschge, und Waldbeeren. Reif und saftig. Im Moment ist das Holz noch sehr präsent, aber es steht diesem Wein außerordentlich gut. Vanille, etwas Zimt, ein Hauch von Rauch, Lakritz und Tabak. Dann im Mund drückt er richtig. Die reife Frucht ist aber nicht schwer, sondern in Balance mit guter Säure und dem runden fast seidigen Tannin. Im Mund ist die Frucht eher rot. Kirsche und knackig reife Himbeere mit frischer Zwetschge. Ein großer Wein der sich in den nächsten zehn bis 20 Jahren sogar noch steigern wird. 100/100

Jane Anson über: The Armagh Shiraz

-- Jane Anson: Powerful, with smoked earth, juicy damson fruit, bitter black chocolate, pomegranate, luscious and enticing, with fragrant spice of anis and fennel. This was a warm vintage with low yield of around 15hl/h, but the tannins were clearly extremely well handled, giving a gentle insistence to this wine that refuses to go away, and yet never overpowers. Aged entirely French oak (as it had been from the 2017 vintage) with vines that at this point were more than 50 years old. Tom Barry winemaker, bottled unfiltered and unfined. 98/100

Decanter über: The Armagh Shiraz

-- Decanter: Wild roses, smoked meats, perfumed strawberries and green peppercorns, I love the nose on this wine. Broad and imposing straight away, layered and deep the tannins make the first mark, really filling the mouth with a chalky, velvety plushness that is massy and so wide. The tannins do most of the talking but once they subside and melt into the cheeks, the spiced red berry fruit, liquorice, flint/slate, tobacco, clove, dark chocolate cinnamon and leather come through - this is full of complexity, muscle and power yet carries so much aromatic interest. Clearly still young and not as generous or easy going as the 2018 at this point last year but this is built to last and has something so utterly charming and inviting about it. Totally moreish and delightful. I adore this wine but put it away and come back to it in a few years. 3.5pH. Ageing 18 months in French oak. Winemakers Peter and Tom Barry.98/100

Parker über: The Armagh Shiraz

-- Parker: The vineyard that the fruit for this iconic Australian wine is sourced from was planted in 1968, giving us the benefit of over 50 years of vine age—a very good thing when we consider fruit tannin and concentration. In addition to the vineyard placement and vine age, Clare Valley benefits from a wide-ranging array of elevation (190 meters to 610 meters) with high diurnal range. All of this means ripe wines, tense wines, and powerful wines, which just about sums up Clare Valley. So, to this wine: The 2019 The Armagh Shiraz is complex, layered and spiced, with a multitude of hung deli meats and small goods packed in alongside the purple fruits and exotic spice. The wine is supple, for all the power, and unfurls over a long finish to show the muscle and might of this iconic wine. In a vertical of four vintages (2016, 2017, 2018 and this 2019), this has the second-highest alcohol of the lot, at 14.1%, showing that concentration and density doesn't have to come at the expense of finesse. I love this. 97/100

The Armagh war lange Zeit der einzige ernsthafte Konkurrent von Penfolds Grange im Wettbewerb um die Krone des australischen Shiraz. Weitere Mitbewerber sind dazugekommen, aber er ist immer noch ein Klassiker und einer der größten Weine Australiens.
