"For fans of d'Arenberg's full, firm style of reds, this vintage of its famed Dead Arm Shiraz won't disappoint. Inky-hued, it finds a balance between plush black cherry and blackberry preserve fruit and cola, vanilla and woody oak-derived nuances backed by peppery, damp earth undertones that add interest. The palate is a mouthful of tightly structured, spicy tannins but again they're balanced by dark berry fruit that avoids overripeness. Classic McLaren Vale Shiraz from one of its longtime champions. Drink 2021–2034. Christina Pickard" - Wine Enthusiast
