2001 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz

"Readers should be on the look out for the 2001 The Dead Arm Shiraz, one of the greatest examples of this cuvée. 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." - 98/100 Wine Advocate
