| Comments: | This
wine is named after a vine disease, where one half of an otherwise healthy
vine dies. d'Arenberg have embraced this otherwise problematic affliction,
by recognising that because half of the vine produces no fruit, the grapes
that are produced by the vine are very concentrated. The resulting wine is
therefore extremely full-bodied with a very intense flavour.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "D’Arenberg’s flagship is the 2007 The Dead Arm Shiraz. Opaque purple-colored, the nose gives up aromas of meat, game, truffles, chocolate, blueberry, and blackberry. Firm, layered, and complex, this beautifully rendered Shiraz demands 5-7 years of cellaring. It will be at its best from 2015 to 2027." Rating: 92/100 |
