I last tasted this wine on release and concluded it was outstanding. It has improved since. In 2024, d’Arenberg’s top label Dead Arm shiraz from the 2015 vintage has mature aromas of spice and pepper. The palate is full bodied, with notes of spice and game adding complexity to its core of dark fruits. It has long subtle length and is velvety on the finish. This is compelling, top flight McLaren shiraz. Review Rating: Outstanding (★★★★★, 96 points). Website: d’Arenberg. Source: Sample. Tasted: September 2024.
