The other parcels all merited 97-100 points

a single-region expression of a classic regional variety

all wrapped in a focused and lingering finish that also is ever-so-mildly warm and austere

Powell & Son, Eden Valley Loechel Shiraz other_regions_australia and a very solid backupThe 2015 Loechel Shiraz is elegant and refined gorgeous in fact. The mid palate is sapid and spicy, with crushed rocks and chalk, kicked earth and black tea, pomegranate molasses and spring flowers. The length of flavor through the finish is impressive. This is a very impressive wine here, and it's aging slowly. Eden Valley is shining here. 14% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
