Standish Vintage:2020 Unnecessarily heavy bottle

Unnecessarily heavy bottle

There is plenty of red-berry fruit here lending the 2005 an attractive fleshy texture

Here too there is good freshness to the slightly riper aromas of grapefruit

Strikingly juicy and pure cabernet with excellent finishing lift and lingering mineral notes

This is an extremely impressive effort and one of the finest wines of the vintage

Standish Vintage:2020 Unnecessarily heavy bottleThe 2018 The Standish Shiraz (a sample blend from barrel) is a bit stalky (it's about 50% whole cluster), but it's gorgeously perfumed, with hints of herbal tea, raspberries, blackberries and licorice. It just exudes complexity, while also being full bodied, plush and creamy, with a long, elegant finish. This seamless beauty is a candidate for perfection.
