The Archaeus is holding up pretty well, very acidic to start with but it’s unfurling very nicely indeed, in fact it’s amazing the transformation this bottle is going through, can’t think of one that has changed so much in such a short time! Tunes and a nice drop of red, much needed therapy right now Cheers 🍷 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s comparatively lighter than some of the other Standish Shiraz, but still plenty of flavour and length. This is the wine that introduced us to Dan Standish when we drank it at a restaurant. Very happy we found it. I love his wines, just can’t afford to drink them very often. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
