Part of the d’Arenberg icon release….

d’Arenberg, The Ironstone Pressings, GSM, McLaren Vale, 2014

Rich, ripe, plum, raspberry and black rock stones. Ink eraser, deep chocolate milk, toasted brown spice. Almost astringent, drying tannins snake and monster around dark red fruit with a metallic bent. Dusty purple fruit with a licorice kick and charred oak overtones. Quality of vintage shines thorough. Needs air. Needs time.

RRP: $65
Alc: 14.5%
