Bowen Estate in Coonawarra is an estate I return to regularly as a purchaser. Their 2015 new release shiraz purchased here has 15.5% abv on the label. I’d probably prefer to see it at 14%. The wine inside is however very good. Aromas of plum, brooding mulberries and cedar. The palate is softly textured with a depth, guile and balance that delivers enjoyable drinking. (Alc: 15.5%, Region: Coonwarra, Rating: Good, Drink: now to 2027, Tasted: October, 2017)
