Jim Barry - The Armagh - Clare Valley 2019

Some names resonate strongly within the halls of Australian wine history. Jim Barry is one such name. 

In 1964, Jim Barry purchased 70 acres of land two kilometres northwest of Clare in South Australia. He planted a little eight-acre patch of Shiraz vines in the winter of 1968. In 1985, at a time when everyone else in Australia was betting on Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, he decided to make a great Australian Shiraz, with the vision to make a wine that defined Clare. The Armagh Shiraz was born.

From the first vintage in 1985, The Armagh has achieved remarkable success and is regarded as one of Australia’s highest quality wines, attaining the maximum possible rating of ‘Exceptional’ in Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine.

The 2019 vintage


Weather conditions


The 2019 vintage was characterised by warmer conditions through the growing season and low winter rainfall. Despite these challenges, our knowledge of the vineyard and the fifty years of vine age allowed the vines to adapt to conditions and rewarded us with a beautiful, concentrated wine, though more restrained than previous vintages. We placed particular emphasis on fruit sorting in the vineyard, to ensure the quality of the wine, although this meant that production was only 40% of an average year.

Tasting notes

The wine is a dark concentrated purple colour with layers of complexity. The dry season resulted in a fresh, supple wine, with spiced characters intertwined with savoury meats and subtle purple fruits. Fine tannins and a seemingly endless finish compliment the outstanding flavours of this powerful wine.

The 2019 Shiraz The Armagh is a beast, with profound aromas of tar, black olive and olive leaf supported by rich veins of coffee-like oak. Bold, voluptuous and expressive, there is an exceptional density of flavor here. Syrupy textures combine with a firm bed of chewy tannins to generate a long, hearty finish. This is a young stallion that will go the distance.

Wild roses, smoked meats, perfumed strawberries and green peppercorns, I love the nose on this wine. Broad and imposing straight away, layered and deep the tannins make the first mark, really filling the mouth with a chalky, velvety plushness that is massy and so wide. The tannins do most of the talking but once they subside and melt into the cheeks, the spiced red berry fruit, liquorice, flint/slate, tobacco, clove, dark chocolate cinnamon and leather come through - this is full of complexity, muscle and power yet carries so much aromatic interest. Clearly still young and not as generous or easy going as the 2018 at this point last year but this is built to last and has something so utterly charming and inviting about it. Totally moreish and delightful. I adore this wine but put it away and come back to it in a few years. 3.5pH. Ageing 18 months in French oak. Winemakers Peter and Tom Barry.

The single-varietal 2019 The Armagh Shiraz is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of Indian spices, baked blackberries, and plum pudding spring from the glass, followed by hints of garrigue, cracked black pepper, and candied violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and lively, with bags of expressive black fruits, finishing long and spicy.

I like this. A typically rich Armagh, boasting ample Australian swagger glimpsed through a lens of contemporary freshness. Very different to certain iterations past. Think smoked charcuterie, violets, blue fruits and pepper grind, with a sachet of Indian spice emptied across the firm, tautly knit tannins, nicely gritty and moreish. A long, penetrative finish and a whiff of mint. Burly, exotic and energetic all at once. A winning triumvirate. Best after 2025.

The vineyard that the fruit for this iconic Australian wine is sourced from was planted in 1968, giving us the benefit of over 50 years of vine age—a very good thing when we consider fruit tannin and concentration. In addition to the vineyard placement and vine age, Clare Valley benefits from a wide-ranging array of elevation (190 meters to 610 meters) with high diurnal range. All of this means ripe wines, tense wines, and powerful wines, which just about sums up Clare Valley. So, to this wine: The 2019 The Armagh Shiraz is complex, layered and spiced, with a multitude of hung deli meats and small goods packed in alongside the purple fruits and exotic spice. The wine is supple, for all the power, and unfurls over a long finish to show the muscle and might of this iconic wine. In a vertical of four vintages (2016, 2017, 2018 and this 2019), this has the second-highest alcohol of the lot, at 14.1%, showing that concentration and density doesn't have to come at the expense of finesse. I love this.
