Score 93/100 · Drink 2005-2018, Robert Parker, Oct 2002

D'Arenberg continues to do exceptionally well with their newest offering, The Laughing Magpie. The inky/purple-colored 2001 (a blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier) exhibits knock-out aromas of violets, blackberry liqueur, honeysuckle, and toasty new French oak. With extraordinary richness, full body, opulence, intensity, and a seamless as well as majestic finish this killer red will be at its finest between 2005-2018. Importer: Rob McDonald, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552
