Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Chatterton's Shiraz
Barossa
Price Range at Release: $200-$499
Vintage: 2019
Alc %: 14.5
$ Rel: 250
A rich, unctuous Barossa shiraz whose smoky bouquet of blackberries, cassis, dark plums and cedar/chocolate oak is backed by a complex spectrum of scents including roasting meats and bitumen, polished boot leather, eastern spices, suggestions of farmyard and a hint of balsamic. Underpinned by drying, chalky tannins, its sumptuous core of dark, bloody and meaty fruit moves with velvet smoothness towards a firmish, savoury finish. It just lacks the fruit length for an even higher rating.

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.
