Vanilla mocha oak smells and attacking blackberry, cassis characters are also evident on the palate. Full, intense sweet, cedary middle palate flavours have a distinctly silky, svelte texture deceptively disguises the rich powerful cassis and toffee-mocha flavours. Restrained tannin and acidity coupled with rich alcohol, produce a seamless, peppery, velvety rolling length, the accent is on powerful full-bodied berry fruit flavour, with a little sweet English toffee- like oak evident on the juicy, rolling finish. Mushrooms, malt and earth aromas play a part on the long, elegant fleshy, chocolate mint flavours, after time, Dead Arm gains a biscuity, cinnamon, caramel and eucalyptus based bouquet on top of rich blackberry pie smells.
