d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz Museum 2015

Concentrated and mature Shiraz with blackberry, plum and dark cherry layered with savoury spice, earth, leather and developed complexity. The palate remains powerful and structured, with integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a long, richly fruited finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with slow-roasted lamb, grilled steak, braised beef, venison, rich stews, mushroom dishes, or mature hard cheeses.

94 Points - James Suckling

The 2015 Dead Arm is a great and formidable wine. It is packed with deeply concentrated dark-plum and blackberry aromas and flavors. There is a streak of red, spicy, smoky and meaty complexity, as well as a genius fusion of power and elegance. Best from 2022. Screw cap.

For fans of d'Arenberg's full, firm style of reds, this vintage of its famed Dead Arm Shiraz won't disappoint. Inky-hued, it finds a balance between plush black cherry and blackberry preserve fruit and cola, vanilla and woody oak-derived nuances backed by peppery, damp earth undertones that add interest. The palate is a mouthful of tightly structured, spicy tannins but again they're balanced by dark berry fruit that avoids overripeness. Classic McLaren Vale Shiraz from one of its longtime champions.
