Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa and Eden Valleys Shiraz 2021

Musky, sweetly oaked aromas of cassis, blackberries, dark plums and dark chocolates are lifted by scents of cracked pepper and sweet spices, then revealing more wild blackberry and blueberry notes. It’s smooth and sumptuous, medium to fullish in weight, with an evenly paced expression of plump, vivacious fruit supported by a fine, chalky backbone and finishing with a savoury, almost saline aspect. Dominated by its charming Eden Valley component, it becomes finer and more elegant with aeration, delivering more length and mid palate flavour.
