    Powell & Son 2017 Steinart Shiraz (Eden Valley)

    From vines more than 120 years old at the higher altitudes of the Eden Valley, this wine is gorgeously balanced and open right from the get go. The pure, brambly fruit swirls with notes of licorice, baking spice, cracked pepper, black olive and the pan scrapings of a roast. The cooler climes really show on the palate where pristine acidity lifts the fruit to tangy territory, giving a linear shape to the wine. The tannins are chalky, spicy and superbly integrated. This could age until 2050 at least.
