d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz 2019

The 2019 Dead Arm Shiraz is a bright deep purple. Intense aromas of black cherries, mocha, Kalamata olives and dark chocolate. The palate is powerful with concentrated flavors of black cherry, blackberry, black olive seasoned with nori. A rich but balanced acid line provides length and persistence. The complexity of the tannins is truly unique. They are direct and focused, while being creamy and luxurious. Also maintaining incredible power and structure which gives this wine great cellaring ability. A wonderfully concentrated wine with complexity and a strong personality.

92 Points - James Suckling

A malty nose, segueing to mulch, tapenade and forest accents, plus cloves, sassafras and blue fruit. A full-bodied wine that is showing considerable development and the clear capacity for further time in bottle. This said, I would not wait long. The tannins are astringent and drying across the finish.
