D`Arenberg The Dead Arm 2012 is a full-bodied Shiraz from McLaren Vale, South Australia. The name Dead Arm refers to the Eutypa Lata vine disease, which results in one side of the vine dying, leaving the other to produce highly concentrated grapes. The 2012 vintage benefited from a drier spring and summer, yielding lower fruit but enhanced flavour profiles. Expect complex aromas of dark fruit, earthy undertones and hints of spice. The palate reveals structured tannins and notable depth.

Vinous
Youthful purple. Primary black and blue fruits, floral pastilles, Indian spices and vanilla on the deeply perfumed nose, with a smoky mineral quality adding urgency and lift. Sweet, deeply pitched boysenberry and cherry-cola flavors spread out impressively on the palate, picking up spiciness and a touch of mocha on the back half. This lush, broad, seamless Shiraz finishes with excellent clarity and smooth tannins that contribute structure and gentle grip. Josh Raynolds1st March 2016
