d'Arenberg's 2017 The Dead Arm Shiraz is brooding and alluring, plum, blackberry, liquorice and spice entwine with a raft of dark, earthy notes. This iconic wine always displays the power and intensity of McLaren Vale Shiraz, yet has an elegance and refinement that few other wines from the region possess. It’s vibrant and lifted on the nose with bustling red fruits and savoury spice. The palate is long, linear and pure with tightly wound tannin and mouth-watering acidity. Beneath the layers of blueberry, pomegranate and Satsuma Plum is an intriguing core of earth and crushed rocks. If stored correctly, this wine should age for 15+ years.Grape: 100% Shiraz/Syrah
