97 Dead Arm

Dinner at home.

1997 d'Arenberg Shiraz The Dead Arm - pretty disappointed. I guess it's just not ready and it didn't breathe enough. Extremely tannic, concentrated. The 14.5% alcohol really showed up in the nose. The fruit core was hidden in heavy oak, smoke, grilled meat. Definitely needs a few more years.

Bought from Watson's for HKD 299.
