Powell & Son, Steinert Flaxman's Valley Shiraz 2017

"Eden Valley Shiraz can reach heady heights of bacon fat, blueberries and graphite, in a single fell swoop. It’s the fruit, not the oak, that takes us there and what defines the best. The trick is the inherent balance of freshness and exoticism in the mouth. This 2017 Steinert Flaxman’s Shiraz is spicy and very long. The oak is still prominent, but the fruit has an opulence and plushness beneath it that shows the longevity of the wine." - Wine Advocate
