2017 Powell & Son Barossa Valley Shiraz

Fruit for this wine is sourced from mature vines, with an average age of 20 years old, located in the Barossa Valley sub districts of Marananga, Seppeltsfield and Lyndoch Valley. Ageing takes place in large format 4500 litre French oak foudres for a period of 15 months.

Voluptuously textured and laden with rich black fruit this is a blockbuster Barossa Shiraz from Powell & Son.

Dense inky black core with a very deep dark red black hue. Potent black cherry, dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate aromas waft from the glass followed by vanillin oak, fennel and spice. The palate draws parallels with Torbreck’s Struie delivering lavishly rich black fruits that boast tremendous concentration and a thick, voluptuous textural feel. Engulfing the mouth are decadent flavours of black cherry, liquorice and black plum which overlay vanillin cedar, fennel and subtle spicy dark chocolate elements. Plush slippery tannins. Concludes lush, hedonistic and exceptionally powerful.
Drink this seductive beauty over the next 5-6 years.
