“It just goes to show that big doesn't have to mean either unbalanced or oak-driven. This is all or mostly about rich, black berried fruit and raking tannin, the end then lengthy and fresh. It's not over-the-top but it's not shy of its power and intensity. Earth, spice and ferrous notes churn though the tangy sweetness of the fruit. A long life is as good as guaranteed.”
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, 2015

Shiraz in a very attractive guise here, this has a little peppery edge with red fruits, raspberry leaf and red liquorice too, plus a little boysenberry and a meaty edge. The palate has a core of dark plum flavor, cedary oak and a fine, savoury tannin web; I like the freshness and concentration here

"The Dead Arm Shiraz 2012 displays classic McLaren Vale aromas of plum, blackberry, liquorice and spice. There is also a strong sense of the old vines and infertile soils from which the grapes are sourced. This is evidenced through a raft of dark, earthy notes, evoking notions of a concentrated duck reduction and thick, black molasses. There is enough savoury oak character to support the generous fruit but it isn't the dominant feature, rather an intrinsic component. The result is a wine of great presence and boldness but with a refined, stylish finish that lingers on and on."

"The 2012 d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz is dark, rich and structured. New releases from one of Australia's "First Families of Wine" are always exciting, made even more so because 2012 was such a remarkable vintage. Made from old vines and using traditional techniques, including foot treading, basket pressing, no fining or filtration Dead Arm is one of the most collected wines we sell. An outstanding vintage has produced a Shiraz that asserts itself as the epitome of everything McLaren Vale is about."
