Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa and Eden Valleys Shiraz 2021
$50.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Musky, 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, medium to fullish 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. Dominated by its charming Eden Valley component, it becomes finer and more elegant with aeration, delivering more length and mid palate flavour.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023
$33.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Another essay in how to marry shiraz horsepower with elegance and finesse from the masterful Dave Powell – and from a cooler season! With a dense purple-red colour, it unfolds briary layers of blackberries, blueberries, redcurrants and liqueur cherries with undertones of dark chocolate lifted by musky scents of spice and cracked pepper. Long and seamless, smooth and sumptuous, its plush core of dark plums and cherries knits with smoky mocha oak and a fine, drying spine of mineral tannins. Finishing with lingering notes of tar and fennel, baked earth and black licorice, it’s actually better on the third day of opening than the first. So it’s very good and will last the distance!

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Brennecke Grenache 2021
$275.00Jeremy’s score 96/100If 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.

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) Steinert Flaxman’s Valley Shiraz 2021
$750.00Jeremy’s score 98/100A 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.

Old Man Sun Grassroots Pinot Noir 2025
$48.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A beautifully made and expressive pinot noir whose heady and faintly spicy bouquet of dark cherries, blood plums and faintly dusty, smoky oak reveals suggestions of beetroot and dried herbs. It’s long and gentle, unfolding a vivacious core of blueberries, red berries and dark cherries deftly wound around a fine-grained spine of powdery tannin. Finishing bright and fresh, it’s as generous as it is finely balanced. Ready to enjoy now or set for a decade of intriguing development – the choice is yours.

Old Man Sun Oyster Thief Chardonnay 2025
$48.00Jeremy’s score 92/100An intriguing and brightly lit chardonnay scented with yellow flowers, grapefruit, yellow peach and lemon zest underpinned by notes of minerals, barley sugar and faintly buttery oak. It unfolds a vibrant and sumptuous core of citrus and stonefruit flavours supported by gentle oak and enriched by yeast-derived complexity and creaminess. Extending long and shapely, with a fine, drying mineral texture, it tapers neatly towards a lively but savoury finish with a touch of cold steel.

Ox Hardy Fiano 2023
$29.00Jeremy’s score 89/100A 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.
-
Ox Hardy Grenache 2022
$30.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A deep, vivacious perfume of dark cherries, dark plums, blueberries and rose petals reveals notes of licorice and tar. Long, smooth and evenly paced, it’s generous and fine-grained, with a charming core of cherry, cranberry and blood plum-like fruit steadily becoming richer and more intense down the palate. Deliciously fruited, it’s underpinned by tight, sandpapery tannins. Delicious right now but likely to evolve very well.
