2022 Standish The Standish Shiraz
2022 Standish The Standish Shiraz
From the Laycock Family Vineyard which is in the Greenock parish of Barossa
Valley. The 2022 release certainly have a distinct presence and potency in the glass,
which could be a calling card of Standish, of course, though tannin profile is lighter
and finer in 2022 overall, is an observation. They’re a bit more potent and powerful in
a way. No slouching in cred, just a theme.
Midnight black colour. Whoosh! There’s incredible density and concentration here,
but such focus and an attractive lift to the wine that seems counterintuitive to how
much is going on. Marrakesh market stall scents and flavours, with dark cherry, rose
hip tea, black tea, graphite, cardamom and caraway seed spices too. It’s incredible
how much of a event this wine is, but how much finesse is here too. Epic stuff.
IMAX movie theatre vibes. Immersive, is the gist, and done so well. - 96 Points Mike Bennie – The Winefront
