d'Arenberg The Dead Arm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2003

$44.99

One of this estate’s flagship wines, the 2003 The Dead Arm Shiraz appears to be better than the 2002. A deeper, richer, fuller-bodied offering that spent time in equal parts French and American oak, it possesses an opaque purple color, great intensity, and a fabulously sweet nose of blackberries, cassis, asphalt, earth, and oak. Powerful, super-concentrated, and obviously fashioned from low yields and old vines, this is a classic McLaren Vale old vine Shiraz ... Robert Parker

What a surprise, leathery baked fruit mixed with tar, smokey meat, roasted herbs and crushed black rocks. Richly textured, reminiscent of CNDP or Priorat to me

Doesn't get much better. 14 years on it. Lots of deep roasted raisin with a little cedar. Great balance with alcohol. Thick colour.

(17.5/20) Насыщенный, джемовый аромат чёрных ягод с нотами шоколад и кедра. Тельное с бархатистыми танинами. Гармоничное, зрелое вино с прекрасным букетом.
