JIM BARRY FLORITA RIESLING 2016 MUSEUM RELEASE

Style: Bold & Powerful

The patriarch of this highly successful wine business, Jim Barry, died in 2004, but the business continues under the active management of several of his many children. There is a full range of wine styles across most varietals, but with special emphasis on Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The ultra-premium release is The Armagh Shiraz, with the McCrae Wood red wines not far behind. Jim Barry Wines is able to draw upon mature Clare Valley vineyards, plus a small holding in Coonawarra. 

Released after 6 years in bottle, and you can totally understand, when you drink this, why this is a wise move. This is gloriously toasty: yellow flowers (there's a buttercup vibe through the finish), hinoki, Golden Delicious apples, preserved lemons, yellow peach, pulverised quartz, saline acidity and a creamy undercurrent of crushed nuts. This is verging on sublime. Or perhaps it just is. ERIN LARKIN, James Halliday
