Floral scents of musk stick and lychees precede a generous, pristine palate whose pristine fruit extends long and juicy towards a faintly briny finish of mouthwatering acids.
Scented with pear, lime and a whiff of apple blossom, it’s juicy and generous, with a gentle, lingering and faintly chalky palate whose faint sweetness is balanced by a refreshing acidity.
A dry, zesty rose whose floral aromas of raspberries and red cherries overlie suggestions of meatiness and citrus rind. Smooth and effortless, its mouthfilling palate tapers gently towards a faintly saline finish of gentle acids.
This astonishingly pure and vivacious sangiovese takes me straight into Chianti. Steeped in classic varietal qualities of dark cherries, blood plums and raspberries, its spicy and floral bouquet also reveals a hint of baked earth and leather. It’s framed by a fine, drying spine of powsery tannins and wrapped in a racy acidity,extending with length and flavour towards a drying and savoury finish. No idea at all how this wine could be this price!
An exceptional wine at its price, this long, luscious shiraz unfolds a spicy bouquet of dark plums, blackberries and cassis knit with smoky, chocolatey oak and lifted by a whiff of cracked pepper. Supported by a fine, firmish spine, it finishes almost savory, with a lingering presence of dark fruits and licorice.
A 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.
If Dave Powell has a signature for grenache, here it is. It’s a wild, heady, pungent and emphatic wine that needs either cellaring or significant breathing to deliver its best. Laced with dark flowers and musky spices, it’s steeped in dense aromas of dark plums, blueberries, licorice and bitumen, with star anise gradually appearing. Saturated with dense black, blue and red fruit that borders on bloodiness, it’s tarry and meaty with a hint of currant, driving forever towards a lingering and savoury finish of red licorice and dark cherries.
A 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.
An 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.
An artful, luscious, deeply layered and Rhone-inspired marsanne whose waxy, creamy fragrance of honeysuckle, lemon nougat, yellow flowers and lime juice reveals notes of brulee, corindader, marzipan and mineral. Round and generous, it’s mouthfilling and beautifully weighted, with a smooth, creamy and toasty core that extends long and savoury towards a refreshing finish of mouthwatering acids. Keep this away from the kids.
A superlative and very Australian shiraz which unfolds a heady, deeply floral perfume of cassis, redcurrants, musk and raspberries tightly knit with cedar/chocolate oak and lifted by scents of rose petals plus a hint of spearmint. Fullish in weight, it’s piercingly intense, long and elegant, with a translucently bright core of pristine small red fruits framed by a crunchy, gravelly spine and wrapped in a mouthwatering, perfectly focused acidity. Gentle, supple and willowy, it’s an essay in harmony and balance.
A briny, round and savoury white from this southern Italian grape whose faintly herbal aromas of melon and citrus precede a juicy, fleshy palate with a pleasing core of creamy flavour that extends towards a soft, faintly saline and refreshing finish.
