Powell & Son, Eden Valley Loechel Shiraz other_regions_australia Where the Les Quartz release

Where the Les Quartz release is more exuberant and Grenache-dominated (both in style and in the blend)

You’ll recognize tones of jammy fruit

This is also quite firmly reduced and impossible to read today

(a blend of one-third Mazoyères and two-thirds Charmes proper – the fruit comes from a mix of mostly 20 year old

This is impressively scaled and delicious with a bit more depth than the Les Cras though if there is a nit

Powell & Son, Eden Valley Loechel Shiraz other_regions_australia Where the Les Quartz releaseThe 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.
