1996 vintage. Decent fill. Open with a Durand and, even so, the cork was an absolute mess. Had to dig out the funnel and screen. Light-medium body. Excellent dark color. Started a bit flat but picked up a little steam after 15 minutes. This example was a little long in the tooth. 2.12.26. — 3 months ago

The last vintage that Armagh made wine from their own fruit. Looks like Pax Mahle gets this syrah now for his Wind Gap label. I'd love to see what he does with this. Deep, dark, savory, funky and fruity. Remarkable stuff and aging very well. — 10 years ago

Great cabernet
Label to rethink IMO
Blue distinctive fruit
Coriander, milky choc
Gunpowder and graphite

It finishes looong!
Exceptional!

Stellar. Seems to show more Viognier than the 1% that comes in from Nellesen vineyard, combined with fruit from Majik and Armagh. Truly outstanding Syrah. — 10 years ago

Beautiful, floral wine. Blueberry, thyme. Needs age- but is bright and enjoyable now! — 4 years ago

With a quick double decent at the table this beauty was on song!!

Vibrant. High toned fruit. Some earth and meatiness. One would think this is north Rhone all the way. Very pure. — 12 years ago
