2001 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz - 98 Points
Private Sale- priced per LOT inc. GST (if applicable) and commission.
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.
Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character. In short, the accolades that proprietor/winemaker Chester Osborn receives not only from The Wine Advocate, but virtually everybody in the wine world, are all well deserved.

"Long, silky, ropey tannins. Alcohol heat. Leather and dry licorice and a crunch of boysenberry and plums and all things ripe. Oak (resiny, chocolatey and warm) is evident too, as is a flood of cascading fruit. A cracking wine, full of power and long, rafting, sweet tannin."
