d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz 0.75L

The Dead Arm Shiraz displays classic McLaren Vale aromas of plum, blackberry, liquorice and spice. In the glass a raft of dark, earthy notes become apparent evoking notions of a concentrated duck reduction and thick, black molasses. There is enough savoury oak character to support the generous fruit but it isn't the dominant feature, rather an intrinsic component of an ever changing bouquet of complex characters that ebb and flow with time in the glass.
