Wine Info –
Grape: 100% Shiraz
Appellation: McLaren Vale
Harvest Date: February 28th to April 16th
Oak Aging: 21 months in new & aged French and American oak barriques
My Tasting Notes –
Nose: Raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, oak, green olive
Taste: Bacon, black currant, touch of cranberry and leather, shitake mushroom
Mouthfeel: big full body, huge leathery tannins
Finish: Long with dark fruit and black pepper
The 2006 d’ Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz ($60)is still a baby, another 2-3 years and this guy will really open up and smooth out. That being said, it is still drinking well now, just be ready for some mouth grabbing tannins.
