Note di degustazione
Deep garnet-brick in color, the 1995 The Armagh Shiraz presents meat, leather and sweat on the nose with undercurrents of black olives, oolong tea, tree bark and damp loam. The muscular palate is centered on a core of dried mulberry flavors and a solid structure of crisp acid, firm chewy tannins and a long, savory finish. Drink now.

Ruby-red. Black cherry, smoke and fresh mint on the nose; distinctly Rhone-like. Shows some distinctly green notes, including a suggestion of fennel seed. Finishes with tongue-dusting tannins and very good length. This comes across as more French than Australian in style.
The distinctive, claret-styled 1995 Shiraz The Armagh impresses with its well-packed core of fruit and brooding aromas of stone, tar and earth. A rich layer of sweet dark fruit stands in support. The 1995 is immaculately composed as pliable yet firm tannins wrap around layers of dark, spicy flavor, holding its line over a lengthy finish. This is not a flashy vintage, but it's very satisfying.
