Wie immer beim 'The Schubert Theorem Shiraz ein nachtschwarzes, blickdichtes Gewand mit tiefdunkel violetten Reflexen. Unglaublich erhabener und fast ehrfürchtiger Auftritt.Was für ein schwarzes Biest im Glas.
Betörende und exquisite, wohlriechende intensive Fruchtauszüge aus feinem Blaubeergelee, reinen Himbeeren und knackigen schwarzen Kirschen erheben sich aus dem Glas, durchströmen die Nasenflügel und verbinden sich mit feinen Kalamata-Oliven, türkischem Mocca, duftendem Piment und auch etwas Holzfeuerrauch. Die wahrlich großartige, komplexe und tiefe Nase macht unglaublich Lust auf den ersten Schluck.
Der überaus strukturreiche, elegante und reichhaltige Gaumen ist gesättigt mit Wellen von saftigen, reinen und konzentrierten dunklen Satsuma Pflaumen, wilden Blaubeeren, feinen Brombeeren und Himbeeren, dunklen Schokoladenaromen, filigranen Lakritz,- und Mineraliknoten und sogar ein Hauch von edler Marcona-Mandel. Mit etwas Zeit sind auch Blutorange und Nektarine zu erkennen. Sich stetig wandelnd im Glas hat dieser Beauté alle Komponenten, die einen Weltklassewein ausmachen. Alles ist magisch mit den sehr cremigen und seidigen Tanninen verschmolzen und sorgen für ein unglaublich hedonistisches und erhabenes Mundgefühl und münden in ein endlos langes und genussvolles Finale.
Dan Standish: "Rich and smooth, dark and brooding, exotic five spice, graphite and blue fruits. Robust, building palate reinforced by solid red fruit structure. Firmly packed in flavours, vibrant and multifaceted."
Erin Larkin schreibt am 11. Mai 2023 für Robert Parker:The 2021 The Schubert Theorem Shiraz was made with fruit from the Roennenfeldt Road vineyard, in Marananga, with 70% whole bunches in the ferment. The northeastern corner of this vineyard is matured in concrete egg to preserve the blue-fruited core that defines the style of this wine; it is the only cuvée that features an alternate maturation vessel. I knew (before and) when I tasted the 2019 and 2020 vintages what I was going to get, by and large. When I was in the Barossa in June 2021, I was already thinking about what the Schubert would look like from this year, as the perceived fit of season and style had the potential to dovetail in a most titillating fashion—a "stars aligning" kind of thing. A cool season overlays a warm site capable of producing dark, dense, sometimes brooding, always pure Shiraz. The combination of concrete egg (and, in this case, a slightly shorter maturation in this vessel) and cooler year has produced a wine of scintillating precision and fruit sweetness. It glows with its own black light. It shimmers and oscillates between fruit luminescence and plush tannic texture, and in doing so, it barely contains its own energy and abundance. The distinction between this profusion of fruit and the old "fruit bombs" of yore is the precision of acid and pliable fruit tannin that defines the middle palate and the ability of the fruit (courtesy of the winemaking) to shine through the vessels in which it matured. The tannin that shapes the wine is plentiful, make no mistake, yet it is ductile and fine and threads through every aspect of the palate. A thrilling Schubert this year, it's like a strike of lightning on a dark night. This wine appeals most fervently to my penchant for freshness, energy and resonant bass line. 14.9% alcohol.
James Suckling hat den Wein leider noch nicht bewertet, wir fügen daher einfach die 99 Punkte ein, die er für den vorangegangene Jahrgang vergeben hat. Wir denken, damit können Sie sich ein gutes Bild von diesem Aushängeschild an Wein machen:
Unbelievable! Another insane wine. The length of this is endless. The blue fruits and Asian spices are mind-blowing. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a mouth full of polished and refined, creamy tannins. It goes on for minutes. Endless. Seamless and gorgeous. Leave this for years ahead if you can keep your hands off it. Better after 2025.

"The Standish Wine Company - The Selection Vintage 2021 by CB Weinhandel"
100% Shiraz - Sourced from various sections of the Schubert Vineyard - Roennfeldt Road. Marananga. Planted on own roots between 1994 & 1999 (12ft x 8ft spacing). The soils are deep red/brown earths with eroded protrusions of crystalline quartz - ranging between 272-296m above sea level.
The Schubert Theorem lies within a branch of mathematics known as 'knot theory'. It states that any knot can be uniquely decomposed as the connected sum of prime knots. Aptly named. this wine deconstructs the Schubert family vineyard into its distinct sections. taking the finest elements of each. re-assembling to connect and enhance their strengths.
If this isn't some of the sexiest packaging in the known wine universe I don't know what is. Black embossed 'theorem' notations sit on a shiny black label. The back label a bare minimum of information and a punt deeper than a black hole. I feel fancy holding it. Cue the Gregorian chants.
Standish's wines are from the classic 'no-compromise' school of winemaking with infinitesimal attention to detail yet a fluid sense of vins de terroir. This bad boy is sourced from the Schubert Vineyard in Marananga. and set on deep reddy-brown earth with quartz jutting out of it. The Schubert Theorem. by-the-by. 'lies within the branch of mathematics known as 'knot theory". for those that are concerned.
A billowy entree to the wine – very dark berry fruit with faint game character. a slap of brambles. dry earth and lifted sweet spice of cloves and cinnamon. Deeply complex aromatics that preclude the layered. densely packed palate. Liquid minerality runs as a vein through the wine while Alpine herbs take care of its boundaries. Sleek cedar and nougat brings a touch of sweetness. there is some blood sausage/game character. but the lithe feel of the wine is brought alive with the bright. briary red and black forest fruits. Cool. almost refreshing. with an irrepressible presence and the underlying muscle and tension of a marathon runner. Will go the distance but superb now too.
