d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz 2016
Rich, chocolatey, a malty edge framing the wine. Oak on display, handled somewhat sensitively.
Unwilling to release the wine that it has nurtured through its formative years. A powerhouse, having a compelling presence: oak, spice - pepper in the main.
Its tannin structure is forceful, the sudden onset reminding this is a wine of substance - and not for now. Possessing the structure to last, there's a slight flash of warmth, minor, from a generous vintage. The finish though, seemingly perpetual. 93
