The 2004 Shiraz The Armagh is sealed under cork. Aromas of bar mat, peat, turned black earth, broken grass, licorice and star anise. In the mouth, notes of kirsch, cocoa and beef crust eddy through to the finish. This is an enigmatic, precipice wine—it is sitting perfectly on the edge of young and old. It's dense and almost rigid yet possessed of fruit purity—cleansing. This is big, at 15.2% alcohol, and it matured for 16 months in 30% French and 70% American oak barriques (225 liters). - Erin Larkin
