D'Arenberg - The Dead Arm - Syrah

Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2016 The Dead Arm Shiraz offers expressive blueberry, blackberry and liquorice notes with hints of Provence herbs, tapenade, garrigue and cracked black pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the palate provided a taut backbone of firm, grainy tannins and refreshing acidity packed with black fruit and earthy flavour layers, finishing long.
