Score 93/100 · Drink 2006-2014, Robert Parker, Oct 2006

Year in and year out, one of the most exotic, flamboyant, and sexiest cuvees in the d’Arenberg portfolio is The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier. The 2005 exhibits a spring flower garden-like character interwoven with blackberries, creme de cassis, melted licorice, and sweet, toasty new oak. Opulent and voluptuous, with silky tannin, and a plump, fleshy, rich, full-bodied personality, this offering is meant to be consumed over the next 5-8 years. Importer: Gavin Speight, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552
