d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz 2018

Dark fruits, dark plum, and lovely fennel seed notes on the nose. The sip reveals rich balsamic-glazed beets and damson plum, with white pepper in layers of complexity. Superb balance. Slaty, persistent, mineral-like tannins bring a generous framework for decades of cellaring. The wine’s considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity and providing immense interest.
