About this product
Lovers of full-bodied Australian Shiraz are synonymous with d'Arenberg flagship wine, The Dead Arm Shiraz. Classified 'Outstanding' by Langton's, the 2001 is one of the finest examples of this cuvee. Highly regarded by world renowned critics coupled with a slew of awards, this vintage is one well sought after. Muscular power, intensity and real complexity, the rewards of patience are evident. Drinking wonderfully now but will easily cellar for another decade.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Readers should be on the look out for the 2001 The Dead Arm Shiraz, one of the greatest examples of this cuvee. Its dense black/purple color is accompanied by celestial aromas of melted licorice, graphite, blackberries, cassis, incense, anise, and toasty oak. Fabulously concentrated, with great purity, an unctuous, viscous texture, and an amazingly long, 60-second plus finish, this fabulous baby will need 5-6 years of cellaring, and should drink well over the following 20-25 years.
