July 27, 2023 - Thought I had finished all these but found this one and we drank it in an “Aussie battle” over Cambodian food in VT with an Amon Ra 2005 Shiraz. The group agreed the Dead Arm was the more complete wine with its fruit, spice, tar, structure, etc all in balance, whereas the Amon Ra was a bit sweet.

June 30, 2023 - A bit more primary than expecting. Good but not what I was hoping for. Red ripe fruit, spices, subtle savory elements.

June 13, 2023 - This is your fruit bomb turning into nectar after more than a decade.L ucious, thick and hedonistic. Concentrated and balanced with sweet fruit.
