d’Arenberg d’Arry’s Original Grenache/Shiraz 2020

One of the best-known examples of the Grenache Shiraz blend. Once again, a combination of basket pressing, and foot stomping has been used with only old French oak for the maturation between 12 and 21 months. It’s appealingly medium bodied with lovely aromas of blackberry, plum and dried herbs. The palate is smooth and supple but still with structure and poise. A fitting tribute to the great man himself. Drink by: 2023-2033. Score – 93. (Ray Jordan, winepilot.com, Nov. 2023)
