The red wine Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz, vintage 2012 from the winery Jim Barry has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah from the region Clare Valley in Australia.
Again a translucent colour of rich garnet. The nose at first sends a note of earth, of stone, followed by a hint of caramel and supple plum. The palate is far gentler: there is creaminess but also a lovely balance and subtlety. It is the shape of the wine, the creamy frame that envelopes bright cherry and juicy, tart plum that defines this wine. The firmness of the tannins becomes apparent on the finish. A wonderfully elegant and super-fresh rendition of a powerful wine. The finish shows immense fruit, freshness and length. Wow.
