The Dead Arm Shiraz 2002 d'Arenberg

Professional reviews

After re-tasting the 2002 The Dead Arm Shiraz, I believe my initial rating is
correct. It still plays it close to the vest, exhibiting loads of cassis, asphalt,
smoke, and barbecue spice-like aromas along with full-bodied flavors. While
well-made and impressive, it remains backward and restrained, and does not
appear to be up to the quality of either the 2003 or the great 2001

Winespectator (92)

Rich, complex, but not at all heavy-handed, a plush, heady mouthful of black cherry, blackberry, menthol and a wee touch of forest mushroom, all mingling in a rich finish that lasts and lasts.
