Very deep garnet-brick colored, the 1999 Shiraz The Armagh has a touch of balsamic over a gorgeous core of licorice, prunes, baked blackberries and crème de cassis, plus an invigorating waft of espresso. Big, rich, concentrated and ripe in the mouth, it has a soft, velvety backbone and goes into exotic spice mode in the long finish.
Rich, dense and seductive for its layers and layers of fruit, packing in the ripe cherry, plum, berry and spice flavors, all tightly wound and waiting for more to come with cellaring.
