Standish

[Mahmoud Ali]

It's my fault, I mentioned the Barolo:

For example, once upon a time I saw some Schild Estate single vineyard Moorooroo shiraz at half price. Upon seeing that it was 15% alcohol I gave it a miss. For less money, at the same store, I was able to pick up Cote-Rotie and Barolo.

I was not trying to make a comparison, only meant to say what I bought instead. However, now that we are talking about it, the more apt comparison ought to be with the Cote-Rotie and other northern Rhone syrah.

Tried the 2017 Standish release in the weekend and was really impressed. Whilst the Lamella had a little eucalyptus in the back it was very dark and generous. The The Standish and Relic were outstanding as usual but the Schubert Theorem was a dark, gorgeous thing and my pick of the lot!
