    Angus Hughson,

    The 2020 Shiraz The Armagh is an excellent result for the vintage. It has an appealing, open-knit upfront generosity as it offers up aromas of baked earth and mulberry, topped by black slate with a touch of gum leaf. Fine oak treatments keep everything in place. This is an energetic young Armagh thanks to tangy acidity, which provides flavor impact before building fleshy textures up to a strong and complete finish. The 2020 is already approachable but has a long future ahead.

    Inky black colour, showcasing the concentrated black and blue fruits that reflect another low yielding vintage. Spiced damson, black cherry and raspberry, set against charcoal, bay leaf, crayon, liqourice and a touch of crushed rose petal and oyster shell. Plenty of tannins here, but as ever The Armagh knows how to inject just enough air and acidity in between them to give contrast and texture, and to draw the flavours out on your tongue. 100% French oak, Tom Barry winemaker, bottled unfiltered and unfined.
