d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz - 1998 (750ml) Chianti apricot jam) happily mingle withOne 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. Robert Parker 94+ points
