• 2002 d'Arenberg The Laughing Magpie Shiraz-Viognier - Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale (1/24/2024)
  From my late father’s s is a very pleasant surprise. Still plenty of deep fruit, and a velvety mouthfeel that picks up some finishing grip. Seems like there’s still some runway on this, and it strikes a balance between sunshiny ripe and structured. I am pleased to have more bottles to work through, and will look to spread them out over the next five years or so.

Nice..who would have thought eh.

Certainly not me.

I'm a D'Arenberg fan, but the Dead Arm has been my fave. That aside, do you know what a Laughing Magpie is? They're a bird that attacks people. Fun fact: when you visit the winery, there are signs advising you wear hats between the parking lot and the building to avoid getting a direct hit.
