Standish The Standish 2024 | Barossa Valley📍🇦🇺
Laycock Family Vineyard, Greenock. 100% Shiraz 🍇
Intense, brooding, savoury and spicy on the nose. Concentrated dark fruit aromas, black plums, black cherries, subtle peppery spices, dark florals, and liquorice. Full-bodied, richly concentrated, and generous with a wonderful palate weight, not too much, on point without being overwhelming. Glossy dark fruits matching the nose, spice notes of similar complexion, more pepper, black olive and meatiness perhaps. Well structured, textured, balanced, and long on the finish. Ticks the all the boxes, though maybe offers a little less finesse and detail than in previous years. I don’t doubt it’d improve after a few days of air (which admittedly I didn’t give it) and after all, when it comes to BV Shiraz… in Dan we trust! 👏🏼🍷
