d'Arenberg Vintage Fortified Shiraz
McLaren Vale
Price Range at Release: $30-$49
Vintage: 2006
Alc %: 17.5
A traditionally sweet Australian Ôvintage portÕ style packed with brambly, mouthfilling fruit supported by fine, loose-knit tannins and steeped in wonderful old brandy spirit. ItÕs scented with deep, confiture-like layers of small black and red berries, plums and dark chocolates lifted by aromas of pepper, licorice and espresso. Sumptuous and velvet-like, itÕs long and luscious but beautifully honed down its firm, drying backbone.
