This 2017 Barossa Shiraz from Powell & Son is expected to showcase the region’s signature intensity. On the nose, look for rich dark fruit aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis, underpinned by notes of black pepper, liquorice, and a hint of dark chocolate or espresso. The palate will be full-bodied and robust, with concentrated fruit flavors mirroring the nose, supported by firm yet velvety tannins. There should be a good balance of acidity, leading to a long, spicy, and satisfying finish, possibly with nuances of toasted oak or a characteristic eucalyptus lift.
