1998 The Dead Arm Shiraz, d'Arenberg, McLaren Vale
"One of the most backward wines included in the June tasting, this 1998 needs another 4-5 years to reach full maturity. Everything is here, including a dense ruby/purple color, and subtle but impressive notes of damp earth, roasted meats, herbs, spice box, pepper, and black fruits. Tannic, full-bodied, and youthful, it is capable of lasting another 25-30 years." 94+ Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
