Standish - Lamella Shiraz Vertikale 2020-2023 [4x 0,75L]

Exklusiv in Deutschland bei WineDreams - Life is too short to drink bad wine

Standish - Lamella Shiraz Vertikale 2020 + 2021 + 2022 + 2023:

Der 'Lamella Shiraz' stellt sich sehr eindruckvoll mit undurchdringlichem, tiefstem Violett vor. Beachtliche Farbtiefe mit schimmernden Farbreflexen - imponierende Präsentation im Glas.

Schon der erste Naseneindruck lässt einem die Haare aufstellen. Feinste ungeheuer duftende und aromatische vollreife blaue und schwarze Früchte im Überfluss sind eingerahmt von einer mustergültigen Komposition aus feinen Mocca,- Lakritz,- und Tabaknoten, untertützt durch einige erdige Noten und feingliedrige 5-spice Gewürzelemente.

Sehr breit gefächert und komplex, mit einer ungeheuren Eleganz am Gaumen, verbinden sich äußerst geschmacksintensive und delikate Brombeeren, pralle saftige schwarze Kirschen, opulente Himbeeren, schwarze Pflaumen und überaus köstliches Blaubeerkompott zu einem außerordentlich vielschichtigen, erhabenen und luxeriösen Mundgefühl. Die Fruchtreinheit und Konzentration der Früchte ist beachtlich und verbindet sich bravourös mit feinen Mocca,- Schoko,- und Lakritznoten, rotem Pfefferkorn und den mehrschichtigen Tanninen, die wie flüssige Seide die Kehle hinunter gleiten. Dies alles mündet in ein majestätisches 90 Sekunden Finale, das in allerbester Erinnerung bleibt.

Dan Standish: "Complex and multi layered, Ink, mulberries, violets, heady gunpowder and chocolate aromas, spice and lifted dark red fruits with coffee and tightly woven chalky tannins."

"The 2020 Lamella Shiraz was made with fruit from the Angas family vineyard in the Eden Valley (Hutton Vale Farm), with cuttings from the Mt. Edelstone vineyard, which is close by. It is made with 100% whole bunches in the ferment. "This is the last pick, and by that time the stems have fully lignified," said Dan Standish. It is floral, and granitic and minerally and über spicy all at once. It is the elegant wine of the lineup, thanks to the elevated vineyard and the cooling acid, but it also is possessed of a nuance and range of flavor that makes it distinct from the others. The Lamella has the breadth and range that the other two do not (making it neither better nor worse, just an observation), and it covers a lot of ground within that. It is shaley, and rocky and mineral, but it is also slightly herbal (there is fresh coriander and a hint of bay in there); the fruit is concentrated and pure and also has a splay of spice through the finish—licorice, star anise and a shake of allspice. Zoom out, and the wine has volumes of flavor and pillowy texture—it really does have it all. Due to the vintage conditions, I expected to be met by a dense wall of unforgiving flavor and tannin. Instead, it is possessed of a galaxy of flavor, pintucked into folds of texture and all of it spooling out over an interminable finish." - Wine Advocate

2020 Lamella Shiraz

"The Eden Valley fruit gives a unique cool fruit character of blue fruits, iron and white pepper. Granite. Medium to full body, with tight and integrated skin tannins and a gunpowder undertone. Fantastic length. A little closed now. Drink after 2025."

"The 2021 Lamella Shiraz is made with fruit from the Angas family vineyard, Hutton Vale Farm, Eden Valley. The vineyard was planted with cuttings from the Mt Edelstone (Henschke) vineyard and represents the final pick of the season each year. Made with 100% whole bunches in the ferment, the wine opens with characteristic jasmine tea, bergamot, raspberry, graphite and star anise on the nose. The whole-bunch component, far from overtaking the fruit, is seamlessly integrated from the first instance this year. The wine is a cohesive whole and shows an elegance and presence that is beguiling, to say the least. If anything, the 2021 Lamella is full of aching potential; its future is writ upon the balance of fruit and skin/stalk tannin, freshness and density. For lovers of this cuvée, I cannot recall seeing it so balanced and poised on release. The 2018 (a vintage I reference constantly for its high quality and fruit presence) may challenge this statement, however the cool vintage that birthed the Lamella this year has produced a wine of definition and untold potential. Super. Sealed under natural cork. 14.9% alcohol." - Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Lamella Shiraz has a little secret held within, and it's one not noted on the label. Within this cuvée, is just two barrels of fruit from the Stonegarden Vineyard, the original Lamella Vineyard, before the current Huttonvale Farm. Stonegarden was planted in the Eden Valley in the middle 1800s and is a historic site. The wine rises with Chinotto and blood orange, black tea and pressed flowers. It is, in its quiet way, kaleidoscopic and mottled ... it does not stay still, it gently moves across the palate like sunlight over the course of a day. The long finish speaks of raspberry pip and sandalwood, pomegranate, Boscobel rose and even the softest suggestion of scraped vanilla pod. If you have the benefit of time, I would recommend tasting this on both day one and day two. As I see it, day two has all of the complexity of day one, with the added seamlessness and silk that only time can bring. This is the most alluring Lamella I can recall ever tasting on release, despite many previous releases' flirtation with perfection. 100% whole bunch. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax." - Wine Advocate

"Following on from the perfect 2022 release, I find myself opening this wine with a fair bit of excitement. I called Dan Standish one day in early May 2023 (I think to ask my questions about the wines I was tasting), and he was in the vineyard up in Eden Valley, picking the Lamella fruit for this wine. 2023 was a wet, cool season, so much so that the fruit for this cuvée was picked in May. Still, aromatically, the 2023 Lamella Shiraz leads with sumac and orange peel, fresh raspberry, black cherry, licorice, petrichor, wet asphalt and river stones. Sandalwood and rose petals follow through the finish. This is velvety and grainy, supple and pliable. The tannins are dry and silky, and they perfectly balance the intensity of sweet/spicy fruit in the mouth. This wine is a clear example of why you must back a producer over a vintage, because a good producer will triumph no matter the conditions. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax." - Wine Advocate
