d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz - 2001 (750ml) 2018 and it has been fascinatingReaders should be on the look out for the 2001 The Dead Arm Shiraz, one of the greatest examples of this cuvee. Its dense black purple color is accompanied by celestial aromas of melted licorice, graphite, blackberries, cassis, incense, anise, and toasty oak. Fabulously concentrated, with great purity, an unctuous, viscous texture, and an amazingly long, 60 second plus finish, this fabulous baby will need 5 6 years of cellaring, and should drink well
