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, fulliush to medium 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. It becomes finer and more elegant with aeration.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son)
Dave Powell, founder of Torbreck, has re-entered Australian wine, this time with his son, Callum at his side. Since 2014 the company has focused on high-quality sites across both the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, retaining Dave Powell's dual focuses on Rhône Valley varieties as well as his well known intent to chase elegance, savoury finesse and structure. The new Powell & Son wines combine extraordinary depth of layered fruit, handsome oak and fine textures with the minerality and thoughtful composition associated with the finest wines of Dave Powell's previous existence. But Torbreck these wines are not – there's a distinctly different style here to what Torbreck became. I'm truly excited to get to know these compelling wines.
