I tasted this wine at the brunch after the KCC Wine Society AGM last weekend. This is a wine I have tasted a number of times, but though I had blogged about this label, I have not written any entries about any specific bottles I tasted. This is as good a time to rectify it as any other.
The flagship shiraz from d'Arenberg, the Dead Arm is classified Outstanding (the 2nd category) in Langton's classification. This 13 year old wine was a dark purple ruby even with this much age under its belt, and sported a sweet minty berry nose. It was sweet with berry fruit and acid on the palate, well supported with a nice acid backbone. Delicious now but will still go strong for years to come.
