D Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz Magnum 2018 150cl

From d'Arenberg, The Dead Arm Shiraz 2018 is an Australian red presented here in magnum format. This vintage combines depth and structure with a finely detailed profile, showing layered fruit, spice and savoury complexity alongside a long, persistent finish.

The oak sits quietly in the background, allowing the fruit and soil character to come through clearly. Powerful yet composed, it is built around vibrant, gritty fruit tannins and has the structure to reward cellaring.
