2016 Bowen Estate Shiraz

4/18/2024 - GD77 Does not like this wine: 88 Points
Opened well, perfect cork. Very fresh and heady. It is a really big Shiraz and very coonawarra. Lots of high quality fruit, good oak treatment and a bucket load of acid. Ripe fruit but picked perfectly. It only took about 3/4 of a glass before the acid started ripping my mouth to pieces. I wanted to drink more but could not. I really wonder why these people make their wines for 20 years down the track, or whatever it is. This would be great as a single bottle with a rich meat dish or big steak but on its own, it burns.

Rather spectacular really. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. Acid has completely settled and the fruit has softened with the Merlot really adding to the blend. It will be good for a while still but this was my last bottle. Equal to anything 3 times the price since it was bought on special for around $15.

Nice Chardonnay. Will improve just a touch with another year or so, but it is good. Powerful but handled pretty well.
