The Characteristics
A classic Dead Arm in every sense of the word. The nose is brooding and
alluring, earthy notes combined with dark fruits, fennel and baking spice. The
longer this wine sits in the glass, the further it unfurls opening into notes of
sweeter berry fruit laced with more of those soily, forest floor notes.

The palate is dense and concentrated with a plethora of fruit characters, plum,
blackberry, mulberry, earth, iodine and black olive. Despite the richness and
intensity of the attack and mid palate the experience surprisingly crescendos
with a lick of spicey pepper, coupled with lovely, fined grained, textural tannins
that seem to persist in the mouth forever. Complex, savoury and moreish!
