    D'Arenberg 2005 The Dead Arm Shiraz (McLaren Vale)

    The Dead Arm frequently seems to have a tough edge to it, packing in plenty of intensity but not being particularly lush or inviting. The 2005 is driven by powerful blackberry and blueberry fruit, finishing on notes of pepper and spice. Give it 3–4 years to soften.
