D’Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz Museum Release 2015

A great opportunity to enjoy an aged release of a topnotch McLaren Vale Shiraz, at a price that many current releases exceed. Great colour here, despite the age – deep, dark reds. Notes of aniseed, tobacco leaves, black fruits, soy, espresso and chocolate are evident. The wine appears to be still very youthful and vibrant, and it seems to really need even more time, over which, expect it to continue to improve. An attractive wine, well balanced and with abundant tannins, all rather fine. Showing impressive length in a fine style, this still has a good ten years ahead of it.
