| TASTING NOTE: Crushed and destemmed, cultured yeast, open-fermented with heading down boards, one-third fermented in barrel, followed by up to 18 months in French oak. Inky purple-crimson hue; standard d'Arenberg vinification finishing the last third of the primary fermentation and mlf in barrel; a powerful, archetypal d'Arenberg shiraz, swimming with black fruits of every description, dark chocolate and a generous helping of chewy tannins. Special Value. Drink By: 2038. Score - 95 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Oct. 6, 2016) |
