d'Arenberg The d'Arry's Original 1998 (75cl)

Robert Parker 91 points, Drink 2001 - 2011
"The terrific, deep ruby/purple-colored 1998 d'Arry's Original Shiraz/Grenache (47% Shiraz and 53% Grenache) offers a gorgeous perfume of jammy black fruits intermixed with earth, charcoal, and leather. Spicy, meaty, fleshy, and full-bodied, this palate-staining 1998 should drink well for a decade. This is a terrific bargain." Wine Advocate #135 (June 2001)

Price: £16.28 (Including VAT at 20%)

d'Arenberg The d'Arry's Original 2000 (75cl)

Robert Parker 89 points, Drink 2002 - 2009:
"The brilliant 2000 d'Arry's Original, a Chateauneuf du Pape look-alike from southern Australia, is a 50-50 blend of Shiraz and Grenache. With lofty alcohol (14.5%), it is a succulent, jammy effort displaying oodles of kirsch liqueur-flavored fruit intermixed with pepper, plum, and spice box characteristics. Heady, rich, and medium to full-bodied, it is a hedonistic, sexy red to enjoy over the next 5-7 years." Wine Advocate #143 (Oct 2002)

Price: £15.26 (Including VAT at 20%)

d'Arenberg The d'Arry's Original 2004 (75cl)

Robert Parker 91 points, Drink 2006 - 2010:
"One of my consistent favorites from d’Arenberg is their d’Arry’s Original, and the terrific 2004 is a super value. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by beautiful blackberry, cassis, cherry, and licorice scents with hints of Provencal herbs and pepper in the background. This medium to full-bodied, front end-loaded blend of Shiraz and Grenache possesses considerable fruit, body, and silky tannins as well as enough acidity to provide definition. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." Wine Advocate #167 (Oct 2006)

Price: £11.48 (Including VAT at 20%)

d'Arenberg The d'Arry's Original 2005 (75cl)

Robert Parker 88 points, Drink 2007 - 2010:
"The 2005 d’Arry’s Original Shiraz (50%), Grenache (50%) was aged for 12 months in French and American oak. It is purple-colored with aromas of violets, meat, black cherry, plum, and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied, it offers plenty of spicy red and black fruits, silky tannins, and good depth. It has several years of aging potential but can be enjoyed now. It is an excellent value." Wine Advocate #173 (Oct 2007)
