STANDISH SHIRAZ ‘ANDELMONDE’ 2012

93 Points - Josh Raynolds - Vinous - “Inky purple. Complex, deeply pitched aromas of cassis, smoky minerals, incense and iron. Large-scaled, broad and sweet in the mouth, offering intense flavors of blackcurrant, bitter cherry and dark chocolate. Shows superb density and vivacity as well, with zero rough edges. Finishes with building tannins and lingering notes of bitter chocolate, licorice pastille and underbrush.”
