The rating for 2002 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz McLaren Vale is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - 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. The rating for 2004 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz McLaren Vale is 95+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The renowned 2004 Shiraz The Dead Arm, fashioned from ancient head-pruned vines, is stunning. An inky/purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of creosote/melted road tar, blackberry and cassis liqueur, pepper, and spice. This deep, rich, full-bodied, tannic Shiraz. It is the finest Dead Arm since the 2001.
