\u00a0The Standish wines of 2018 and 2019 were sensational on release. More intense than Rockford, less ripe than Torbreck, more polished or elegant than Penfolds. What was not to like. In the last couple of years, the magic wore off a bit, but still. But what are the 2018s and 2019s like now, after six and seven years, often the peak of Barossa Shiraz?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Standish 2018<\/b> is still a full-bodied wine, with concentrated blackberry and kirsch flavours. The wine is quite brooding, still holding something back, it seems. The tannins are silky and the finish long. I still give it a high score (96 points), but it does not taste quite as magical as on release. I recommend to let it be for another 3-4 years when the wine will add some elegance and maturity to the power.<\/p>\n

The Standish 2019<\/b> is brighter and more vibrant. This wine drinks well now. The flavour profile is complex, with black, blue and red fruits on the palate. It does not have the weight of the 2018, and therefore the magic combination of power and elegance, but it is a well made wine (96 points).<\/p>\n
