The Standish - The Schubert Theorem Shiraz 2024 750ml
"The 2024 The Schubert Theorem Shiraz is forever one of my favorite wines in this lineup—if I am to reach for a bottle at home, this is often the one that my heart steers me toward. Aromatically, the wine leads with blue fruits and licorice, Boscobel rose and pomegranate. This is fresh, complex and powerful; the tannins feel delicately interwoven into the fruit, and the impact on the palate is all seamlessness and flow. Yes! This is an unbelievable wine. This is usually the only cuvée that features vessels other than oak, such as concrete egg. It preserves freshness and purity within the wine, like the eye of a storm, a center of calm and clarity in what is otherwise a maelstrom of dense flavor and texture. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under cork and wax. Drink 2026-2039. 100 Points" - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)
"Roennfeldt Road, Marananga is the source; a selection of sites within that strip, as I understand. A wine at the blackest of midnights. A sense of the old school/good school to this wine, with its impossible richness and concentration, puffs of dusty, freshly lathed wood, old spice cupboard, roasted meats, turned earth, brambles and lavish array of stewed and compote forest berry fruits with cherry liqueur and vanilla wafer in tow. Graphite and coal make an appearance, tannins are sinewy, refreshing, long. Lush fruit counters the grip and dustiness here, the wine stuffed with garam masala spice in the midst of the opulence. And all of of this seemingly controlled, fresh, drawn long, kept in check with wonderful textural compactness. A lot on, a serious, stupendous, monumental wine. 97 Points" - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
