Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017
$30.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Ripe, juicy aromas of blackberries, redcurrants, cassis and dark plums are knit with creamy vanilla oak. Soft and luscious, it’s forward and generous, with a moderately long palate wrapped in a soft grip and finishing with spicy, licorice qualities.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019
$30.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Smooth and sumptuous, this generous, stylish Barossa shiraz leaves many of its more expensive competitors for dead. Wild, floral and faintly meaty, its fiery aromas of black, blue and red berries are underpinned by notes of blood plums, cinnamon and chocolatey oak. Fullish to medium in weight, steeped in fruit, it drives down the palate with depth and polish, finishing with softness and savoury qualities.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$30.00Jeremy’s score 93/100A vibrant, energetic, long and complete Barossa shiraz whose heady perfume of dark berries and plums, gentle cedar/chocolate oak, meaty undertones and sweet spicy notes are lifted by scents of blue flowers and pepper. Fullish to medium in weight, its pristine, evenly paced core of translucently bright black and blue fruits are supported by a drying spine of chalky tannins, finishing with shape and freshness.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Chatterton’s Shiraz 2017
Jeremy’s score 96/100Effortlessly nimble and shapely, fullish to medium in weight; steeped in flavours of dark plums, cassis, redcurrants, mulberries and dark cherries backed by slatey tannins and cedar/mocha oak; lifted by scents of musk and roasting meats.
-
Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Chatterton’s Shiraz 2018
$250.00Jeremy’s score 96/100Fullish in weight, this long, smooth and stylish shiraz unfolds a fiery, earthy bouquet of cassis, raspberries and cedar/vanilla oak lifted by notes of star anise. Underpinned by a fine, drying mineral spine, its deep core of red and black fruits drives silky and seamless towards a finely balanced and lingering finish.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Chatterton’s Shiraz 2019
$250.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A 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) Herrmann Kalimna Shiraz 2019
$150.00Jeremy’s score 96/100A steamroller of a northern Barossa shiraz – plush and densely packed with brooding tarry, dark berry, cherry and plum-like flavour smoothed out by chocolatey, coffee grounds-like oak and supported by an underswell of fine, kernelly tannins that become more mineral with breathing. Laced with dark pepper and exotic spice, it’s smoky and briary, unfolding notes of roast meats, boot polish and walnuts beneath its generous dollops of plush, fiery fruit. Its exceptional texture, structure and balance stamp it as a high-level Dave Powell wine.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Kraehe Marananga Shiraz 2017
Jeremy’s score 97/100Unctuous, opulent, smoky and perfumed; saturated with blackberries, cassis, dark plums and black cherries; velvet smooth but becomes more mineral down the palate; long and seamless, with layers of fruit, pliant tannins and smoky mocha oak.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Kraehe Marananga Shiraz 2021
$750.00Jeremy’s score 100/100An opulent, heady, smoky and mineral bouquet of cassis, blackberries, redcurrants and blueberries is lifted by notes of cracked pepper, roasted chestnuts and dark flowers, all supported by the most remarkable of charry, tight-knit oak. There are also suggestions of eastern spices and old Puer tea. It’s impossibly intense and generous, but simultaneously fine and restrained, delivering an elegant, effortless presence of handsomely oaked vivacious dark fruits backed by notes of smoke, minerals and briar, all wound around a fine-grained spine of artfully integrated drying tannins. Ready to enjoy any time over the next 40 years, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece.
