ダーレンベルグ デッドアーム・シラーズ 2002
2002 D'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz CP89昨日はオージーとニュージーの試飲会に行って30種類飲んで来ました。美味しかった物だけ紹介します。パーカー高評価のダーレンベルグの看板商品です。死の腕と言う変わった名前ですが、いつも美味しいワインです。色は濃いめのガーネット、パーカーさんに言わせるとアスファルトの匂いがするそうですが、熟成の結果あまりコールタールの匂いは強くありませんでした。プラム、ニッキ、丁子、の香り、非常に凝縮感のあるワインですが、熟成感が出てきて枯れた良さもあります。若いころのエグミやパワーは減って飲み頃感が出てきています。丸くなったタンニンと果実味が調和して良いバランスです。15種類飲んだ中で一番美味しかったです。2002 D'Arenberg The Dead Arm ShirazD'Arenberg A Syrah Dry Red Table wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaSourceReviewerRatingMaturityCurrent (Release) CostWine Advocate # 161Oct 2005Robert Parker93Drink 2005 - 2020$35-$115 (65)After re-tasting the 2002 The Dead Arm Shiraz, I believe my initial rating is correct. It still plays it close to the vest, exhibiting loads of cassis, asphalt, smoke, and barbecue spice-like aromas along with full-bodied flavors. While well-made and impressive, it remains backward and restrained, and does not appear to be up to the quality of either the 2003 or the great 2001.

After the magnificent 2001, it comes across as lighter-styled, more elegant, but also closed and restrained. Several hours of aeration were beneficial, but this cuvee seems to be playing it close to the vest. However, there is power underneath the tannic structure. A deep ruby/purple color is followed by a backward, full-throttle Shiraz lacking the exuberance, unctuosity, and stunning concentration of the 2001 and 1998. It has noble breeding, but appears to be totally shut down at present. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020. Importer: Rob McDonald, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel.
