From screwcap, slightly better than the one I reviewed last month. Seemed like there was more volume in the finish.

From screwcap, possibly the lightest Dead Arm I have tasted. Not very complex yet silky. Doesn’t possess the typical tar and dark fruit components usually found in an Australian Shiraz. Still enjoyable but not sure it is worth it’s regular price. Drink over the following 5 years before the fruit fades away.

It completes surprise to the downside. It's green on the nose and it's green on the pallet. It doesn't quite come across as hot but it's certainly is not a good example of mclaren Vale or of dead arm.
