(92-94)/2030+

long and serious finish that possesses real verve

As it almost always is

indeed utterly delicious without being common

size and weight to the big-bodied and muscular flavors that terminate in a balanced and impressively long finale that could again use better depth

Standish Vintage:2006 (92-94)/2030+The 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.
